This is very interesting. Could the car-PC movement generated enough interest to catch the attention of some major manufacturers? I certainly know that Seagate wouldn't be building drives like these unless they had something to go into...

"Among its ten new drives is one specifically designed for the high-temperature automotive under hood environment. Designated the EE25 Series, the drive, in 20- and 40-Gbyte capacities, withstands temperatures from -30 to +85 C and is suited for DVD-free navigation systems and car entertainment services."
