Hitachi Global Storage Technologies was at E3 this week promoting their new gaming initiatives. Among them was the news that they have become a global sponsor of the Cyberathlete Professional League, one of the largest competitive gaming groups in the world.

"We are pleased to be standardizing on Hitachi hard drives because they are extremely well regarded among PC gamers," said Angel Munoz, founder and president of the CPL. "The use of Hitachi Deskstar will allow us to continue pushing the performance envelope in our tournament machines."

CPL tournaments are held around the world.
