It must be scary, offering traditional storage in these cloud-based times. Seagate’s obviously thought long and hard over this one, and whacked Wi-Fi into their new GoFlex 500GB drive, so you can store/draw from your data-bank, using your phone.
Instead of storing 3TB of five hard-drive platters, Seagate has done the unthinkable and squeezed the same amount of memory on just five 3.5-inch platters, achieving the holy grail 625GB/in2 areal density. Keep an eye out for those hard drives later this year. [The Reg]
Seagate and Samsung, giants of hard drives and flash memory, respectively, will work together to develop technologies for SSD storage devices. Now would be a fine time to brush up on (and covet) the great solid-state drive. [Giz]
This Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk sounds like an exercise commandment for your desk, but it’s the world’s first 3TB external hard drive. Best news: It has USB 3.0 and FireWire 800 (along with USB 2.0).
