Seagate will start shipping its 1-inch Photo Hard Drive in February, the company said today. As an alternative for Compact Flash cards in digital cameras, the drive will be available in capacities of 2.5 and five GByte. Seagate also announced a 400 GByte drive for DVRs.
The "CompactFlash Photo Hard Drive" is new territory for Seagate and will offer competition for often higher priced but also faster Flash cards that dominate the storage space for digital cameras. Following firms such as Hitachi, Seagate will begin offering the small drive in CF-II format in February with 2.5 and five GByte capacity.

Seagate has not yet announced pricing, but said in June 2004 that the device will be available for "less than $150". Hitachi's 2.2 GByte MicroDrive currently retails for about $170.
