Seagate's Showcase Video Library

Everyone that has a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) has the same problem, storage space. Programs can fill up the drive fast, but Seagate has a new add on solution!

Have you ever had the problem of running out of space on your DVR's hard drive? Having to make the choice between continuing to record Oprah each day or deleting your husband's classic Indiana Jones movies can lead to frustration and possible divorce. Seagate announced today a new device that one might call a long overdue accessory for many different DVR systems. A one terrabyte external storage drive that will plug and play with many existing DVR units adding days of additional recording time to the unit.

Seagate is calling the new storage drive the Seagate Showcase, and is working with manufacturers such as Motorola to update software to be able to utilize the new drives simply by plugging in an enhanced serial ATA cable into the back of the existing DVR. Seagate hopes to ship the unit sometime after June of 2008.
