Seagate claims the this new storage technology can deliver up to 7x the storage capacity of a traditional 64GB tablet with the same power, performance and reliability of a flash device. If that’s the case then we’re looking at almost 500GB of internal storage for a mobile device.

In addition, the 2.5-inch drive is just 5mm thin while weighing in at a mere 3.3oz. It will be well insulated to survive accidental drops and will utilize Dynamic Data Driver software for reduced power consumption and improved performance.

if HP or any other companies could create a 1 terabyte usb, is it possible to create a 1 terabyte sd card too? I just saw my friend’s 1 terabyte USB and it’s soooo small

why not put that inside a smartphone? no?

In fairness sa actual use ung 64gb sa smartphone or tablet is big enough,at least for professionals and businessmen, dahil may desktop at notebook nman, un lang if ang laman niang phone tablet storage mo ay panay kakagagohan na porn eh kahit pa zigabyte dala mo kung fan ka ni barely legal kulang pa un.
Hehe

“It will be well insulated to survive accidental drops and will utilize Dynamic Data Driver software for reduced power consumption and improved performance”…

They already promised these before..

Naka 15 portable 2.5 HDD na ako and they would not last kahit a 10 mm drop o slight (bend)yupi lang …

wala lahat ang partition mo…

My 3.5 were almost 8 years.

They never learn.. but puro RMAs..

Its better to use SDD or 3.5 solid HDD kahit na i untog mo sya ng 1 meter at itapon ng 2 year old na lalaki na anak mo…

Buhay parin kahit 7 years or still running…

just minimize writing as much as possible..

HDD killers are :
Multipart downloader softwares
Defragmenters

realtime synchers specially in mobile phones, papatayin yung microsd mo kinabukasan at ma shoshock ka nalang..

warning lang para sa me mechanical na thin disks HDD…
