Pocket-Sized Mobile Storage from Seagate

  • Seagate unveiled a new portable hard drive that wirelessly streams data to a mobile phone, allowing stored data to stay in a pocket or backpack.
  • The company's new Digital Audio Video Experience (D.A.V.E) technology, introduced the credit-card-size (3.5 by 4.7 by .47 inches) mobile storage device that weighs just 2.5 ounces.
  • Its embedded 1-inch Seagate hard drive can store between 10 and 20GB of data.
  • Perhaps more intriguing, however, is the fact that it can communicate with your phone via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
  • DAVE also uses Seagate's power-saving Storage Management Module to run for up to 10 hours (streaming media) and for 14 days in standby mode, and in return can also store data collected by your phone and other mobile devices.
  • The storage device is built on an open API and Seagate will start selling the DAVE Developer's kit this spring.
  • DAVE will go on sale sometime late this year to carriers who will likely rebrand the device and sell it with their own mobile phones and services. It will list for approximately $150 to $170.
