Infinity, the first car with a huge hard disk

automotive

Infiniti is a car manufacturer that belongs to the Nissa group.

In November, Infinity will put on the market its new generation 2007 of G35 sedan, that has been introduced recently.

The infotainment system has a tactile screen and the sound is output by a high-quality BOSE audio system.

He also has a digital converter which will allow ripping audio CDs and storing on the hard drive disc.

The rumours say that the disc will be a Seagate, with possible capacities of 20, 30 or 40 Gbytes. Infinity and Seagates do not confirm anything at the moment.

Why that kind of news on hOwGee? Very geek, or very middle-class.

Because we like luxury;) And then it's the first time that a manufacturer will integrate a so large hard disk, only for multi-media purpose. The fashion is iPod-interface.

for those who do not know : Ripping is the process of copying the audio or video data from one media form, such as DVD or CD, to a hard disk. While the original media is typically digital, the extraction of analog media such as VHS video or vinyl records to a digital format can also be referred to as "ripping". To conserve storage space, the copied data is often then encoded in a compressed format such as MP3, WMA or Ogg Vorbis for audio, or MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, Xvid or Ogg Theora for video.
