>> U8 is 4.3 GB/surface, comes in 1 and 2 platter versions with 1, 2, and 4 heads to yield capacity points of 4.3, 8.4, 17.2GB. The older U4 was a 2.1GB per surface drive. << Well, that's what I thought. How viable is that as design for video recording in TiVo or Replay ? That's why I don't worry about Seagate as a competitor in the consumer video appliance market, yet. I also don't understand how SEG can be the leading provider of drives for that market. My impression is that SEG is in a weaker position in video relative to the other 3. -Sarmad
