08/13/2004 12:18 PMSoyo Group Inc. has taken the wraps off its latest portable hard
drive, the
Cigar
HD20, a 1.8-inch hard drive with a USB 2.0 interface and 20GB of
storage capacity. With its magnesium alloy casing, the US$199 Cigar
HD20 is approximately the size of an iPod and weighs 2.8 ounces. The
hard drive spins at 4200RPM and it draws power from a USB port. Soyo's
Web page for the product lists the inclusion of
compression/decompression software as well as e-mail sending and
receiving capabilities and security features, but a company
representative told MacCentral that none of those items currently ship
with the drive, although they could be added at a later date. He was
unsure if they will be compatible with Mac OS X. The Cigar HD20 comes
with a USB 2.0 cable and a soft carrying case.

Some of the
graphic design geeks over at Kirupa Forum decided to have a 'Logo
Design Battle,' a sort of visual arts freestyle competition, and they
chose Gizmodo to riff off of. And as much as we love our current
design (not that we aren't always tweaking), we thought it was pretty
cool they liked Gizmodo enough to use us as a springboard, so we
thought maybe we'd up the ante a bit and offer a new JetAudio iAudio
M3 20GB hard disk MP3 player to the winner of the contest (after we
review the damn thing, that is). So if you're a designer and you want
to head over to their forums and join the battle, we'd love to see
what neat graphics you come up with.

portable hard disk drive that uses USB 2.0 and is compatible with Macs
and PCs. The US$199.95 drive measures 2.4 x 4.1 x 0.4 inches, weighs
40 grams and offers a "swivel plug" that gets the USB 2.0 interface
out of the way when it's not in use. The 20GB mechanism operates at
4200 RPM and doesn't require an external power supply if used with a
powered USB port. The device ships with a cable, neckstrap and
documentation.

JVC's Mystery Hard Drive Camcorders
Revealed: They're Hard Drive Camcorders
09/14/2004 11:18 AM
Oops, I almost forgot about these new cameras
announced from JVC - the ones they've been hyping up to no end as
their big "mystery product." Basically, they're camcorders with hard
drives in them - a 4GB microdrive, to be exact. They look pretty cool
and everything, but they're really most interesting because they are
the first consumer camcorder with a built-in hard drive, not because
they do anything particularly unique. That being said, I fully support
this idea, and think most consumer recording technology should move to
hard drives as soon as possible (I'll be waiting until you can get
something with a bigger hard drive than 4GB for less than $1,500,
though).
Both models (the GZ-MC100 and the GZ-MC200) can record up to 9Mbps
in MPEG2, though, which is DVD quality.

Memory Reading Hard Drive
06/30/2004 12:37 PM
The Vosonic X'S-Drive Pro VP 300 is 40GB external
hard drive that is clunky, cheap-looking, has a crappy text-only
integrated screen, plays MP3s, but not WMA, AAC, or OGG Vorbis, and
can only read from one card from its card reader at a time. So why
would any photographer want it? Because it's cheap, it does the
primary job it was designed to do (act as remote backup for memory
cards), and can accept as many additional 2.5-inch laptop hard drives
as you want to swap into it, meaning that all other things aside, you
can purchase this single $335 drive and continue to upgrade it for
only the price of additional hard drives.

An Ode To The Hard Drive
An Ode To The Hard Drive
05/27/2004 09:35 AM
You know it's likely to be a slow news day when the first thing you
turn up is, basically, an ode to the unsung hard drive.
Hard drives are, admittedly, a fairly unsexy business. Then again,
you might think the same thing about semiconductors - and they seem to
get plenty of attention. Either way, storage is very important to
consumers - as the article notes in looking at how quickly people
focus on the size of their iPod hard drives or just
how much space their Gmail account really has. Even the leading
people in the storage business are quite colorful and certainly
unique, which should get them much more attention. However, when it's
all said and done, no matter how important your hard drive is (just
think how people react when their hard drives die), and no matter how
quickly they improve in just how much data they can hold, not too many
people find themselves particularly interested in the "boring" hard
drive business.

If terms like 'areal density'
and 'magentoresistive' are a bit much for you, ExtremeTech's piece on
the inner workings of your hard drive is a good read. They explain
what exactly makes up one of the most crucial pieces of hardware in
your machine and how every single bit gets recorded and read. If
you've never taken apart an old drive, toyed with the platters and
flung the heavy magnets towards your friend, you should pick one up
and do just that after reading this piece—it's fascinating
technology, truly.

Tiny new 1-inch 1.5 GB hard drive from Cornice that
costs about half as much as Hitachi's 1GB Microdrive. Apparently this
is the same hard drive that Samsung uses in its "tapeless" digital
camcorder, the DV-4200.

Welland USB On-The-Go Hard Drive

EverythingUSB is mentioning
that Taiwanese OEM Welland has -- at least as far as they know -- the
first USB On-The-Go (OTG) hard drive. It also has a built-in card
reader, USB host (duh), and a rechargeable battery. USB OTG is pretty
simple, and pretty great. By adding a USB host to storage, you can
hook your digital camera or anything else that supports the standard
up to it and transfer data without needing to hook up to a PC. That is
a positive thing.
That being said, I have a hard time believing this is the first USB
OTG hard drive to see the light of day.

MVK has a new line
of hard drive enclosures for the security folk, called the "impact
Encrypted HDD Enclosure" line. Available in 40 bit and 128 bit
encryption models, each enclosure includes three "security keys"
necessary to access the data on the hard drive that is
enclosed. I'll also guess and say that they require some sort
of special formatting, because otherwise it seems like someone could
just steal the entire assembly and remove the hard drive.

WiMax iPod with No Hard Drive?
08/23/2004 08:53 AM
I hate freedom, so I'm not going to comment on the main thrust of
this article which talks about the ramifications of the recent MGM
v. Grokster ruling on the music industry, but I would point out
the odd mention of a wireless iPod, with a twist. While people have
been talking about an iPod with built-in AirPort for a while now (to
enable direct-to-AirPort Express streaming, for one thing), this is
the first I've heard anyone mention an iPod with built-in WiMax
(Intel's unreleased, long-range wireless networking service), let
alone one without a hard-drive.
I think it's best to chalk it up as rumor for now, but if anyone
has an inside line on something along those lines, I would be pleased
to make your acquaintance.
