LD25 Series - for gaming systems, home entertainment devices and
small-footprint PCs

Seagate's new LD25 Series is the first consumer electronics hard drive in a
compact, 2.5-inch form factor - an entirely new concept for inside-the-box
CE storage that enables smaller, simpler, cooler-running and more
cost-effective game consoles, home entertainment devices and small footprint
media PCs. Seagate's industry leading DynaPlay technology optimizes the
drive for media streaming, power consumption and content security.

LD25 Series makes it possible for game consoles like the Xbox 360 to expand
their capabilities far beyond traditional gaming - to enable them to expand
and keep new soundtracks for games, to rip and store entire libraries of
music and video, and to play back multimedia centralizing other
entertainment functions with the gaming function.

With the increasing popularity of PC systems based on clever design and
Mini-ITX mainboards, small footprint PCs and PC media centers are becoming a
very visible - or perhaps a less visible - part of the home entertainment
and information network. The LD25 Series' unique combination of small size
and media-focused design will further promote and enable these new, creative
designs. Based on Seagate's industry-leading technology platforms, the LD25
Series offers 20GB, 30GB and 40GB capacities and both PATA and SATA
interfaces, is designed specifically for use in installed home entertainment
applications, and features Seagate's patented SoftSonic fluid dynamic
bearing motors for super-quiet operation and high reliability. LD25 Series
is shipping now to the Microsoft Xbox 360 and to other consumer electronics
customers and manufacturers of small-footprint PCs.

"The hard drive extends the gaming experience on Xbox 360," said Todd
Holmdahl, corporate vice president, Xbox hardware. "From downloading
trailers, new game levels, maps, weapons, vehicles, and more to supporting
custom playlists in every game and storing video messages from friends,
Seagate's LD25 Series 2.5-inch hard drive brings gaming and digital media
together for the ultimate entertainment experience."
