Seagate Technology has unveiled a line-up of new hard drives that it expects to launch in the second half of this year, including its first 1-inch drive for portable consumer electronics devices. Seagate expects to launch its 1-inch drive in the third quarter of this year and will offer it in two versions, one for embedded use and one in a CF case. The drive will come in two capacities: 2.5GB and 5GB. That could put Seagate ahead of its competitors in terms of capacity. The current highest capacity 1-inch drive available is a 4GB model from HGST.
