Hard drive vendor Seagate has announced plans to ship a 1-inch hard drive in 2.5 and 5GB varieties in the 3rd quarter, one for embedded use (like for use in portable media players like the iPod mini or Creative MuVo) and in a CF form-factor (for cameras and what not). Currently, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies, maker of the MicroDrive (and Apple's supplier) holds the size:capacity title -- expect them to turn up the heat with a larger drive size as soon as they can.

Drives for Phones 07/30/2004 11:03 PM

We been hearing rumblings about hard drives being put into cellular phones for a while now (we've certainly advocated it), but now a company called "Hoya Corp" revealed in a quarterly earnings statement that two major hard drive players - Hitachi Global Storage Technologies and Seagate - are planning on developing 1" hard drives for cellular phones. I sincerely hope that the hard drives are technically incapable of storing ringtones, because I can't imagine what life would be like if people could fit about 10,000 of the damn things in one device. I mean, really; 10,000 songs in your pocket? Who would want that?

IFD-iV Flash Drives Masquerade as ATA
Hard Drives 07/15/2004 08:59 AM

For embedded computing hackers, mass storage (like hard drives) is often the most frustrating piece of the puzzle, as the fragile and power-hungry spin of the hard drive is usually the last non-solid-state part in the whole deployment. And while most engineers will just use a Compact Flash card, sometimes the only option is an ATA (hard drive) connection; that's where the IFD-iV flash memory parts from IO Data Device Corporation come in. Basically just flash memory drives, the defining feature of the IFD-iVs (besides fairly rugged operating specifications) is that they use the standard ATA connection of a hard drive, meaning they can be deployed in place of hard drives when necessary. Models up to 2GB in capacity will be available for around $2,100 -- maybe we'll just deal with the fragile hard drives instead.

Seagate Believes In Self, Ups Hard Disk
Warranties to Five Years

Seagate Believes In Self, Ups Hard Disk
Warranties to Five Years 07/27/2004 09:21 AM

Unless you consider hard drives to be disposable (not a bad policy, given current failure rates), you'll probably be interested in hearing that hard drive manufacturer Seagate has upped to warranty period for all of its consumer hard drives to five years. Over the last couple of years, most major hard disk manufacturers had quietly changed their warranty period to one year (most were at a three year warranty before that), in spite of (or because of) an increasingly poor record of drive life-cycles. It has since become almost a joke to presume that any hard drive will last longer than a couple of years without failure; an interesting proposition, considering that the average computer user still keeps all of their data on a single drive.

Of course, just because a drive has a five year warranty doesn't mean the drive will last that long. You should still back up like a good Computer Scout. But in the worst case, at least you'll be able to get a replacement drive while you're tearing up over years of lost pornography.

In the <a href="http://www.neowin.net/comments.php?id=27461&category=ma in&highlight=">second part</a> of our look at some of the portable gear Seagate are offering currently, we've taken a look at the company's smaller option for users : a 5 GB, pocket hard drive.
<ul>"USB: it's everywhere. Like a plague amongst motherboard designers, the USB socket has become ubiquitous with the modern day computer. Asides from devices like printers and mice, USB devices range from the quirky to the rather useful. Arguably one of the most useful groups of devices on the market today is the portable USB drive.

High speed, reliable and small, they've virtually killed the floppy disk drive giving computer users a better way to store and transfer their files. In a world of bulging PowerPoint presentations and growing media libraries, the question of storage on the go is one that has hit most of us. Perhaps, we've found an answer."</ul>
After the initial amazement that they could pack in 5 GB's worth of hard drive into such a small space, we looked deeper into an exceptionally well designed portable device. For the full review, follow the link below.

Portable Hard Drive 03/14/2005 06:26 PM
Harddrives : a critical part of any personal computer. They store our personal data, files, operating systems and much more. Over the last decade, the industry has gone through some major changes both in terms of the hardware and the companies involved.

Seagate is one of an increasingly small number of harddrive vendors to stick through tough times and keep on producing good gear. Founded in 1979, the company stayed at the forefront of the industry making the first 5.25" harddrive, the first 7,200 RPM diskdrive, and the first fiber channel interface disk drive.

<strong>Today, we're looking at a portable harddrive from Seagate</strong>. It's basically a small (2.5") harddrive packed inside a strong shell with a high speed, USB 2 adaptor on rear; it's also got a bright blue LED light for good measure. Seagate offer two version of the drive; a 40gig version and a 100gig version - we looked at the 100gig version. Read on the review!

Seagate Tries to Block Import of Cornice
Hard Drive Devices 07/05/2004 09:28 AM

Last week, both Seagate and Western Digital sued hard drive newcomer Cornice in separate patent-infringement lawsuits. So besides that welcome wagon, Seagate has now asked the US International Trade Commission to ban the importation of any device that uses one of Cornice's 1-inch hard drives, which brings me to why you care. If the USITC goes for it, MP3 players from Aiwa, iRiver, Element, Agere, Rio, and RCA -- and that's just the short list -- could be illegal to import under the injunction. That takes the lawsuit from boring, insider sniping to slightly-less-boring and irritating, and well, I thought you should know.

Also, it must be frustrating for a new company, without years of links to cloud the Google waters, to return as the search results of its name two links to its website and a third to a news story about a lawsuit against them.
