Harddisk drives just keep getting faster and faster. Seagate just announced what it claims to be the world’s fastest hard drive: a 15,000RPM 2.5-incher. Until its crown gets taken off by a competitor, this baby accesses data faster than the fastest out there right now by 2.9ms.
The drives will begin shipping soon in HP ProLiant servers, in capacities of 36GB and 73GB.
Pentax M30 and T30 are Pentax’s new digital point-and-shoot cameras. Both sport pretty nifty features that makes them worth considering over the rest.
Face recognition - The camera attempts to find your subjects’ faces and exposes them properly. This makes getting nice clear shots of your friends and family’s faces easier.
High ISO Digital Shake Reduction - The camera tries to push the ISO setting up to maintain a shutter speed fast enough to suppress handshakes. Not as good as optical image stabilizers since increasing ISO introduces image noise as well.
7-megapixel - I would say megapixel does not matter. But, if you have to compare, 7-megapixel isn’t the best out there. Still very capable.
Other features:
3x optical zoom
3-inch LCD display
Slim and stylish aluminum case
Difference between the M30 and T30 lies in T30’s touchscreen capability. The M30 will retail at US$199.95, while the T30 at US$349.95. Both will hit shelves in March this year.
