Tech Talk Device: Seagate’s Got A 4TB Hard Drive!
The reason I really find this interesting is because I just needed a Hard Drive for a site back up, and I asked for the cheapest drive, because I didn’t need a lot of space, and the cheapest drive they had was $70, for a TB, I was like wow ok get that! See the rest of the story after the Jump!
WZA on Google+
Ok so they got the TB for $70, then when I get it, and the Homie Rush0 and I laugh at the size of it saying we didn’t know they were still that size anymore, we have TB now half the size. Then we laugh at the fact that a TB was so Cheap, stating our 1st drive’s were just a couple of Gig’s for a couple Hundred dollars, and state how times have changed. Then in the process of the site back up, the drive seemed a little slow, even if it is USB 2.0, I guess we’re used to firewire 800, and looking forward to thunderbolt. I also want to note that during the operation I slightly moved the computer and the drive disconnected, which was not Clean! -_-
Now I’m not saying this NEW 4TB drive will do or act like this, but that is the exact brand, minus 3TB’s so I would assume they move the same way, and the 4TB does not have thunderbolt Tech yet, But it might have USB 3.0, you would just need a computer that does, I also need to point out the 4TB is $250 as opposed to $70 for the TB, now unless you need a record amount of space, you’ll be good with the lesser space for lesser $!
I’m not done with that drive, I’ll let y’all know how it works out.
Press Release:
CUPERTINO, Calif. — September 7, 2011 — Seagate (NASDAQ:STX) today announced it is shipping a new 4TB GoFlex® Desk external hard drive – the highest capacity hard drive in the industry. This latest addition to the GoFlex Family of external hard drives showcases Seagate’s new desktop design. The streamlined industrial design delivers a smaller footprint and better reflects the aesthetic of today’s modern offices while still providing all of the benefits of previous generations of the GoFlex drives. The new 4TB GoFlex Desk drive is now available from www.seagate.com and will be available from select online retailers within the month for a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $249.99 USD. The entire line of GoFlex Desk products will also adopt the new industrial design in the coming weeks. The GoFlex Desk for Mac external drive featuring both FireWire 800 and USB 2.0 will be available in Apple stores by the end of the month.
“Yet another industry first for Seagate, we have reached a new high-capacity in the 3.5-inch hard drive form factor. At Seagate, we are committed to pushing the limits for our customers and will continue to adapt and innovate our products based on customer needs,†said Patrick Connolly, vice president and general manager of Retail products for Seagate. “This latest GoFlex® Desk drive offering, with its new industry-leading capacity point, is a statement of our continued commitment to meet consumer needs.â€
As more of our entertainment and personal data become digitized, the significance of greater access to local storage becomes increasingly more valued. The new GoFlex Desk 4TB drive has the space to contain over 2,000 HD movies. This new GoFlex Desk external drive comes at a time when people are archiving more of their memories in the form of digital photo and video.
“IDC foresees there being an increase in global demand for personal storage capacity driven by the growing creation and acquisition of digitized videos, photos and music,†said Liz Conner, senior research analyst, Storage Systems, IDC.
Debuted in May of 2010, the award-winning GoFlex Family of hard drives provide an alternative approach to external storage solutions by allowing users to change interface adapters to stay current with the latest in interface technology. With USB 3.0 still undergoing adoption and the emergence of Thunderbolt technology in the coming months, the GoFlex adapter concept has been proven as an idea that works and Seagate plans to continue with this design for future iterations of the company’s external hard drives. The GoFlex drives are also Windows and Mac OSX compatible and have the flexibility to go between both operating systems. In addition to cross-platform compatibility, the GoFlex Desk drive can also be utilized with the GoFlex Home adapter if one chooses to use it as a network drive.
With the pre-loaded back up software, the GoFlex Desk external drive provides automatic, continuous back with encryption for all your files. The included USB 3.0 adapter also works with USB 2.0 ports making it easy to connect to your Windows or Mac computer. The adapter also features an illuminated gauge to display available space on the drive.
