How many years before the Hard Drive is
obsolete
07/21/2004 04:20 PM

Some of us have had the misfortune of a hard-drive failure. It will happen to everyone eventually, and hopefully it will not be a painful death. I have been lucky as I have a aggressive backup plan in place others have been devastated by total loss of years of information. So it is not surprising that the hunt for technology to replace hard-drives are heating up. But I will bet that the ever popular hard-drive will be around for a very long time. [ZDNet]

JVC's Mystery Hard Drive Camcorders
Revealed: They're Hard Drive Camcorders
09/14/2004 11:18 AM

jvc_hdd_cams.jpg imageOops, 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.

Vosonic X'S-Drive Pro VP 300 40GB Flash
Memory Reading Hard Drive
06/30/2004 12:37 PM

DriveProVP300_2.jpg imageThe 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.

Welland USB On-The-Go Hard Drive


Welland USB On-The-Go Hard Drive 06/25/2004 10:32 AM

wellandotgharddrive.jpg imageEverythingUSB 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.

sata_hard_drive_inside.jpgIf 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.
