Our News Bits is a roundup that typically covers news pieces that are just small in content, not in impact. This gives content room to breath even if it comes in less than what we normally cover. This year at the annual National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) 2018 Show there were a handful of announcements that either small or would potentially get wiped out by some of the larger announcements so we have collected them here. Announcements come from companies such as Attala, Western Digital, Spectra Logic, Seagate, and Excelero.
