Seagate Technology announced the first practical implementation of Cybercaptureâ„¢ technology.

Sony Corporation has employed this technology in its new Compactvaultâ„¢ removable hard disc media drive that uses Seagate’s CompactFlash Photo Hard Drive, following a joint implementation effort between the two companies.

Hard disc drives with Cybercaptureâ„¢ technology maximize hard disc performance, enabling faster shooting and high definition video capture. By moving control of the file system from the consumer electronics device onto the hard disc drive itself, Cybercapture technology will allow an even higher recording rate of still pictures in multi-shot mode as well as higher quality recording of moving pictures, on a drive running in AV mode.
