Seagate Technology announced Monday a new hard-drive design aimed at consumer-electronics devices, including video game consoles and audio appliances. The U Series X drive includes a number of advances such as a quieter motor and a thinner profile that will improve cooling efficiency in devices using the drive. Target markets include home digital audio components, networked copiers, digital printers, routers and game consoles. The drive will come in a standard 20GB, 3.5-inch-wide configuration, although Seagate will produce a 10GB version for the Xbox.
