Seagate Pink Pocket hard drive, a way to support breast cancer research

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Seagate is launching a line of limited edition Pink Pocket hard drives beginning October 1. The 6GB USB 2.0 drive, which will retails for $110, also comes loaded with music by Joan Jett -- whom we hear doesn't give a damn about her bad reputation -- Stefy, Toby Lightman and others. Seagate says that 10 percent of each Pink Pocket sold will go the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, in support of research to eradicate this awful disease that affects so many -- over 200,000 American women will be diagnosed this year alone. We can't think of an easier or more digitally capacious way to make a donation to such a worthy cause.

They're too big to fit in my breast pockets. Which is a very good thing.

I'm sorry but what a lame promotion. I'm not putting down efforts to help cancer research, but get real, what do portable hard drives have to do with breast cancer? It's just a PR stunt.

"We can't think of an easier way to make a donation to such a worthy cause" ... uhhh how about a direct donation to the foundation?

Haha. Looks like the Woomba from SNL.

Hey, I've got a silver, 5gb version of the Seagate "hockey puck" drive and it's pretty cool/handy. Of course, I got mine for free, but still... I'd pick one up for a geeky girl.

yea i got one of these i got to say its pretty cool and its about the size of a hockey puck, doesnt suck as much power off the hub as a conventional diy usb drive.
unfortunatly i got it like 2 years ago and they were $110 usd for my 2.5 gb!
