Seagate and Maxtor Show Off New Stuff To Bloggers

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."

  1. Battery powered hard drive? by BronsCon · · Score: 1, Troll

    No risk of data corruption if you forget to charge it or otherwise let the battery run low, eh?

    Naw. Not at all...

    Still, a cool idea, I suppose. But another device to carry around with you; unless you leave it in the glove box (can it run on a DC supply?) and, perhaps, use your phone (with the, perhaps built-in, FM transmitter) as an audio headend in the car.

    Sorry for the run-on and any grammar issues. Actually, I'm not. It happens. Deal. And no, I did not RTFA; as I've said alot lately, I'm not that new here.
