Highest capacity and best value for photography and other CompactFlash applications
January 2005 Seagate, the world's number-one consumer electronics hard drive designer, announced at CES that the Seagate CompactFlash Photo Hard Drive, with a massive 5GB capacity, begins shipping next month into retail stores across the country.
The first 5GB CompactFlash media storage card ever introduced, the Seagate CompactFlash
Photo Hard Drive offers unparalleled capacities at cost-effective price points
for digital photography hobbyists and professional photographers that shoot and
store large volumes of high-resolution digital photos. Available in 2.5GB and
5GB capacities, it's ideal for high-resolution, point-and-shoot and professional
digital cameras with a Compact Flash type II media slot. It's also the most cost-effective
solution for entertainment, gaming and PDA devices that use Compact Flash Type
II media.
The Seagate CompactFlash Photo Hard Drive lets photographers shoot large volumes
of high-resolution pictures without changing the card - this reduces set-up
time and extends shoot cycles, which saves photographers valuable time and
resources. And its massive 5GB capacity reduces the need to purchase or carry
additional storage cards. The 5GB Seagate CompactFlash Photo Hard Drive delivers
over 1500 high-resolution (6 megapixel) pictures, or over 4000 standard-resolution
pictures (3 megapixel) on a single card.
"Seagate wants to bring photographers reliable, simple storage - shoot
and store thousands of high-resolution photos without changing your CompactFlash
drive, then easily share online with friends and family, or print from your
computer," said Brian Dexheimer, Seagate executive vice president of Sales
and Marketing. "Seagate now offers a wide range of external storage products
that give consumers flexible and easy ways to manage photos, video, music,
games and business files. Storage for your pocket, your briefcase, your desktop
and your camera - all plug-and-play, all easy to use, and all sharing Seagate's
well-known reliability and performance."
Photographers and other customers rely on Seagate's renowned product quality,
the best in the industry. The Seagate CompactFlash Photo Hard Drive delivers
high performance, low power consumption, and reliability in a compact physical
package - its durable drive architecture insures data integrity and protects
the drive from drops or falls. The Seagate CompactFlash Photo Hard Drive is
rugged and built to last, inside and out, so your drive and data are protected,
even under demanding conditions.

after the warranty ends. Ask for this and other Seagate products at major consumer
