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."

    Naw. Not at all...

    Shit, I knew it we forgot something! Thank you, smart Slashdot reader!

    What is their timetable for solid state disks? I'm really hoping my next laptop has no moving parts...
