Seagate Announces 5Gb MICRO-sized Hard DRIVE
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "THOUGHT" @ 06:00 PM
Tmulli spotted that DPreview have got the inside track on a new Seagate 5Gb Compact Flash II sized Hard disk:
"…..although they can't use the name 'Microdrive' that is essentially what this device is. Details at this point are a little thin on the ground, the metal cased device will be available in 2.5 GB and 5 GB capacities, it has a rotational speed of 3600 RPM and features 'RunOn' technology which appears to be a buffering system which avoids data loss if the unit is knocked or vibrated in use. Seagate will also be producing a 'built in' version of the device which is designed to be hardwired into devices such as MP3 players or PDA's."
Now, how does the "built-in version" sound to you? I believe that it may just be the very thing I've been looking forward to. Mmmmm, Pocket PCs with 5Gb of storage space built in…… :werenotworthy:
