Seagate Ships 750 GB HDDs for DVRs

With high definition television broadcasts in the US becoming a norm, its more than obvious that the new breed of DVRs (Digital Video Recorders) would get a healthy storage bump. Seagate leads the pack with its DB35 series of Hard Drives based on perpendicular recording with the maximum capacity being 750 GB. Seagate claims it to be optimised for digital content.

The DB35 Series hard drives redefines value for high video capacities and lets manufacturers optimize HDD performance for demanding DVR environments. DynaPlay technology from Seagate optimizes the drive's operating parameters - performance optimization tunes the drive for sequential streaming needed for uninterrupted digital media; drive security tools enhance fair use of digital programming by helping manufacturers implement appropriate digital rights management technologies; power optimization allows the manufacturer more leeway in selecting cost-efficient power supplies.

These features also help to keep DVR internal temperatures under control for enhanced system reliability.
