Seagate's new lineup

HardwareZone has coverage of Seagate's very unusual 2nd quarter product announcement, which includes not one but 11 drives in various form factors and interfaces. Seagate's new 2.5GB and 5GB drives aimed at DAPs feature RunOn, which Seagate says will predict and counter vibrations, effectively making portable hard drives suitable for excercise, and therefore theoretically break-proof. Now that's a spicy meatball. And while we'd love nothing more for them to prove us wrong, we have a hammer here that says very differently about shock-proof hard drives. Also included in their lineup is a 100GB 2.5-inch laptop drive, a 2.5GB and 5GB Pocket Drive (pictured at right), and a 15,000 RPM server-class drive.
