Raspberry Pi Hard Drive

mconners over 10 years ago

Interesting article in the Register today.

Western Digital spins up a USB disk just for the Raspberry Pi • The Register

314 GB. Comes with bootloader installed. Cheap, too.

The link in the article seemed to take me to a US store, where they appeared to be in stock. I don't think I'll get one, but I thought it was interesting that vendors outside of the Pi space would be getting involved.

As you say, it's probably a marketing guy.

Also, it's hard to tell, but it almost looks like that drive has a usb 3 port right on the main board.

Yes that's correct they are native USB drives they have been selling them in their external WD Elements SE there's a video of one being opened up here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eFkjx9oWfI
