CES: Seagate HDD and SSD Storage Solutions Portfolio

Seagate Technology plc announced an extension of its portfolio with several new models, including new solid state drive offerings at CES 2019.

Backup Plus HDD family

From gung-ho gamers to Instagram gurus, photo-collecting parents, or visionary creatives, Seagate offers the storage solutions that empower users to live their best digital lives in today’s fast-changing data-heavy landscape.

Today, consumers have more ways than ever to consume content, driving the need to create, distribute and manage data efficiently. According to a recent IDC whitepaper sponsored by Seagate, five billion consumers are currently interacting with data every single day. By 2025, that number will jump to six billion, or 75% of the world’s population. Each of those six billion people will have at least one data interaction every 18s, bumping the amount of data created worldwide to 175ZB by 2025. Consumers increasingly need reliable ways to collect, protect, manage and access a good portion of that data, and Seagate’s latest products – including the LaCie Mobile Drive, LaCie Mobile SSD, Backup Plus HDDs, FireCuda 510 and BarraCuda 510 internal SSDs, and IronWolf 110 NAS SSD – are designed to fit a variety of storage needs and digital lifestyles.

“Today’s digital world impacts businesses and consumers globally. Companies are increasing digitization and consumers are embracing personalized, real-time data interactions. With these changes come higher expectations for managing data,” said Jeff Fochtman, VP marketing, Seagate. “With over 40 years’ experience in data management, Seagate is continuously innovating to prepare customers for this new era of data resilience. Our new lineup of storage solutions empower consumers to efficiently manage their video, photos, and documents, at home, in the office, or on-the-go.“

The company’s newest lineup of storage solutions helps consumers level up and manage their storage needs.
