SanDisk will launch push button backup USB drives at CES
SanDisk has determined that fewer than 50 percent of users are backing up data regularly – and probably far fewer than that by other estimates. In fact, a scary 62 percent of respondents say computers are their long-term storage plans rather than backup devices. The company has launched a USB flash drive that comes with backup software included so you can back up your PC at the press of a button. No software installation is needed while security is offered in the guise of a dual layer of security, including password-protected access control and ultra-secure AES hardware-based encryption. The SanDisk Ultra Backup USB portable flash drive as it will be called is the first offering of the company's new SanDisk Ultra USB product line and will come in sizes up to 64 GB.

Seagate Barracuda 7200 hard drive has the highest density
Seagate has announced that it is shipping the densest 3.5 inch desktop hard drive available - cramming an incredible 329 gigabits per square inch.

The higher areal density should mean higher performance and potentially lower power consumption from fewer platters. Seagate claims the drive hits sustained data rates of 160MB/sec, up from the 115MB/sec of its previous 1TB drive. HP Voodoo DNA infused Firebird – Makes other gaming PC appear like monsters
