Posted by Darius Wey in "HARDWARE" @ 06:30 AM
"Seagate is the first to offer an 8GB, 1-inch hard drive - the industry's highest capacity - with new, more advanced technology in the widely adopted ST1 Series hard drive for handheld applications. The 8GB Seagate ST1 Series can hold up to 200 hours - or 4,000 songs - of high-quality music files (128 kbps), a breakthrough for pocket-size music players and entertainment devices. With 8GB, consumers will keep larger-than-ever libraries of music, video and digital photos in their pockets. Seagate's ST1 Series also delivers important and unique features for handheld applications. Seagate's exclusive RunOn Technology ensures consistent music playback while in a high-motion environment, such as jogging - the drive actually senses and compensates for motion to stay on track. Seagate also delivers technology that protects the drive against shock from accidental system mishandling, increasing the robustness of the devices into which it's integrated."
In its recent press release, Seagate announced its newest hard drive designed for handheld devices. The 8GB, 1-inch ST1 series hard drive operates via an ATA Flex or CompactFlash interface, which makes it suitable for both integrated and add-on applications. So, what's next? 10GB? 12GB? ;-)
