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."

The New Stuff I'm waiting for

[LS]

is reliable drives. Most HDs are garbage now. I don't have any statistics to back this up, but the quality of drives seems to have gone down in the last few years. I don't expect hard drives to last more than 2 or 3 years now. How about working on the quality of your 3.5" magnetic drives, instead of putting all your effort into hype-filled cell phone external bullshit drives, you assholes. Tons of people have lost so much valuable personal and commercial data. Anyone who's gone through a failure without any backups knows the sickening feeling, and it can actually send people into depression. I'm wondering if anyone has actually committed suicide because some fucking suit over at Maxtor decided to sacrifice quality for for a few cents in manufacturing and QA costs.
