Hearing new iPod mini to be released in 2 weeks w/ Seagate HDD: next iPod mini will also pack a higher capacity Seagate drive. Sources hinted at a 6GB drive, but Seagate currently only offers its 1-inch hard drive the iPod mini would use in a 5GB capacity. The possibility always remains that for a customer as large as Apple, Seagate may quietly roll-out a 6GB version of its ST1 Series hard drive alongside the new iPod mini. Regardless, a bump to 5GB or 6GB will keep the iPod mini more competitive with the myriad of similar players from competitors that already use a 5GB drive. Seagate's ST1 Series also offers another advantage over the current 4GB Hitachi drives being used in the iPod mini: the company's RunOn technology ensures consistent music playback regardless of operating conditions. "RunOn Technology senses a high motion environment and compensates for it, enabling the drive to consistently and continuously deliver music even when the listener is out for a run," according to Seagate's Web site. thinksecret.com
