Seagate are to provide hard drives for Microsoft’s Xbox 360 console due for release this winter. Seagate yesterday announced its LD25 hard drive range which are specifically designed for use in game consoles, small form factor PCs (shuttle) and home entertainment devices like personal video recorders.
The announced drives will be available with capacities of 20GB, 30GB and 40GB. The Xbox 360 will be shipped with the 20GB drive, to be used for downloadable game content, music and other media.
“The hard drive extends the gaming experience on Xbox 360,” said Microsoft’s corporate VP of Xbox hardware, Todd Holmdahl. “From downloading trailers, new game levels, maps, weapons, vehicles, and more to supporting custom playlists in every game and storing video messages from friends, Seagate’s LD25 Series 2.5-inch hard drive brings gaming and digital media together for the ultimate entertainment experience.“
The new hard drives use a technology called DynaPlay which can reduce power consumption and increase streaming and security. The drive can also run very quietly thanks to SoftSonic technology that controls the motors in the drive.
Seagate also announced an 8GB drive for portable media players and a 500GB drive for PVRs.
