    Seagate to announce new ultra-thin drives at CES

    Seems like Seagate is trying to make up for some lost time in the storage technology field. After a late entry into the SSD market, Seagate may be getting a jump start on the ultra-thin drive market. One of the issues with the new ultra-thin generation of notebook computers is the hard drive size. You can only make a computer so thin before you run into issues with the thickness of the components.

    Who wants this Seagate T-Shirt?

    UPS just dropped off this beauty courtesy of Seagate and I think its owner should be someone that will actually wear it. That's not me. So who wants it? Anyone? It's an XL.

    Seagate finally shows up at the solid state drive party with an enterprise offering

    Seagate, the big huge hard drive company, has just now officially announced its first ever solid state drive. The press release title says “Seagate Introduces Its First Solid State Drive: Pulsar” and above the title it says “December 08, 2009.” To be fair, Seagate CEO Bill Watkins hasn’t been keen on solid state drives, saying a little over a year ago that his company wasn’t really considering the solid state market aside from these enterprise-level drives that have just been announced.

    Review: Seagate FreeAgent DockStar

    I like inovative products and after spending some time with the Seagate FreeAgent DockStar, I think it's just that. This thing is cool. The concept is simple and thankfully, so is the product.

I'm pleased to report that it works without any hassle, but I still don't think you should buy it.

    Hands-on: 1TB Seagate FreeAgent Go Portable Drive

    The Seagate FreeAgent Go is a 1TB, USB-powered hard drive that works. What more do you wanna know? I just got the 1TB FreeAgent Go Portable Drive from Seagate and I’m impressed. First off, it’s not that large. I mean, it’s sort-of bulky compared to Seagate’s smaller FreeAgent Go drives, but it’s manageable. The drive is [...]

    Seagate’s new 2TB hard drive pushes 6Gb/s transfer speed

    Seagate’s just busted through that swing-down arm thing commonly found at tollbooths and for-pay parking lots. In the wake of thousands of little wooden splinters, we observe Seagate sticking its hairy arm out the driver’s side window, fist clenched but for a solitary index finger pointing skyward, as if to say, “I’m number one.”
