Seagate and Maxtor Show Off New Stuff To Bloggers

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."

Re:Battery powered hard drive?

It won't be perfect in its first generation but I think tech like this is eventually going to take off. People want convergence (look at the iPhone), but they also don't like all their gadgets being locked in. Imagine having a small wireless hard drive that stored your email contacts, phone numbers, music collection, etc. Your Ipod gets your music, your phone can browse your numbers (and you'd never have to delete voicemail, it could just be stored on the disk). There'd be tons and tons of cool uses for something like this once it matures.
