and why do they

" Increasing densities, shrinking sizes and declining prices have allowed the hard drive to become firmly ensconced in consumer electronics products. TiVo and other personal video recorders rely on hard drives to store date. A number of music players, most notably Apple Computer's iPod, have taken advantage of smaller drives. In the future, small drives will likely be incorporated into cameras and TVs, some analysts have said."

lock you into a set amount of storage instead of front loading hard drives for easy upgrades, because why do that when they can sell a entire new unit with nothing more then a new hard drive
