Typically, this year’s CES was big, bland, and (reportedly) bad, but one item that caught my TiVo-loving eye was the introduction of the Seagate PipelineHD hard drive. It’s a three-platter drive optimized for DVR use, like the earlier DB35 series, with quieter seeks and bearings, and an expanded thermal envelope.
The DB35 has been a huge hit in TiVo circles – it’s the go-to drive for HD expansion. I expect that the PipelineHD line will be the next must-have.
