Storage Meets CE: The New Frontier

Abstract

Following the proven history that most technology applications were not meaningful until someone put a hard disk drive (HDD) in them, the consumer electronics industry has now found its way to the venerable HDD, bringing a new generation of mobility and functionality to digital devices. However, not all consumer applications are created equal, and the storage industry must understand and embrace the unique requirements and operating conditions for various consumer electronics categories. During this panel discussion, Maccabe will address the specific storage requirements for today's popular consumer electronics devices, as well as examine the appropriate consumer electronics applications for storage technology.
