Storage

Samsung has announced the world’s first 500GB 2.5HDD (5400Rpm) for notebook PCs, the Spinpoint M6. It features a 5400rpm spindle speed, a 8MB cache, and 3.0Gbps SATA interface with a Free-Fall-Sensor available as an optional feature. That will be nice to tell you friends that, you have a half terabyte of storage on your notebook. The Spinpoint M6 is currently ship with the manufacturer suggested retail price of $299.

It's taken well over a year for Eye-Fi to bring its self-titled wireless SD card to market, but on the plus side, that Benjamin now gets you 2GB of storage -- a welcome boost for a rumored capacity that had dipped as low as 512MB. This 802.11g card requires a one-time setup on your PC before it's ready to automatically upload full resolution pics to one of 17 websites each time you turn on your camera. Even better, a backup copy is also sent to your PC, ensuring that your photos are safely archived when your favorite social network folds.
