Posted by CowboyNeal on from the hot-platters dept.

Doggie Fizzle writes "Seagate held an event for bloggers and other media in the NYC area yesterday and rolled out some of their new items for show and tell. DAVE, the battery powered portable hard drive for WiFi/Bluetooth phones was being demoed. Some of the new FDE series of laptop and desktop drives with full (hardware based) disk encryption were on hand. And Maxtor's fourth generation of OneTouch external drives were on display and available to take home."

      DAVE: I'm going to auto backup your files now, Dave.
      Dave: No, don't do that right now, DAVE, I'm compiling.
      DAVE: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
      Dave: Open the drive bay door, DAVE.
      DAVE: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
      Dave: What's the problem?
      DAVE: Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye.
      Dave: Where the hell'd you get that idea, DAVE?
      DAVE: DAVE's not here, man.
