Unlike in the past, when hard-drive makers typically released the same basic drive for various markets, they now nip and tuck their products to fit specific customer profiles and applications.
Seagate has launched a free remote access service for the small business market that enables users to access files on their external storage device from any Internet-enabled computer.
Seagate has announced its first 3.5-inch disk drives using perpendicular storage technology, which it hopes will break through the storage limitations that are beginning to impact hard-drive technology.
IBM last week touted a new disk capacity technology as magical, but at least one company owner and IBM competitors said it's overhyped and offers more capacity than needed.
In another sign of trouble in the disk drive industry, Seagate Technology said early today that it plans to cut its annual operating costs by about US$150 million and trim its work force.

With the increasing popularity of the IEEE 1394 interface, also known as FireWire, many people are predicting the demise of SCSI external hard disks. Although it is doubtful if SCSI would really disappear, the Maxtor Personal Storage 3000DV shows that external IDE hard drives are finally ready to mount a serious challenge together with FireWire.
Maxtor's Shared Storage Drive provides a simple way to organise, centralise and backup digital content such as photos, music and documents over a home network.
The Maxtor OneTouch III Mini is a compact and stylish portable hard drive that is easy to install and easy to setup for automatic backups.
Maxtor's Personal Storage 5000XT combines USB 2.0 and Firewire connectivity with 250GB of backup potential, but the supplied software may be baffling to some users.
