In its 25th anniversary year, Antec, Inc., the global leader in
high-performance computer components and accessories for the
gaming, PC upgrade and Do-It-Yourself markets, today announced it
will showcase two new Sonata IV and DF-35 models at Computex 2011,
exclusively built to accommodate Seagate's new GoFlex®
ultra-portable external hard drive technology.
As a key partner in Seagate's Certified GoFlex® Storage System
ecosystem, Antec has incorporated a hot-swap drive bay using the
new USM™ (Universal Storage Module) in two of its popular mid-tower
enclosure models (Sonata IV and DF-35), helping to make Seagate's
ultra-portable 2.5-inch external hard drive technology accessible
to the gaming, business and enthusiast audience.
The GoFlex module is built into the chassis, but will also be
available as a standalone retail kit. The pre-installed adapter
plate fits within one external 5.25-inch drive bay and accepts
Seagate's new 2.5-inch ultra-portable, multi-platform external hard
drive. The module also features a tool-less internal mount for
users to install a second 2.5-inch Solid State Drive. With this
integrated support, users can now take advantage of the removable
GoFlex external hard drives' flexibility and high-performance
capabilities, as well as maintaining compatibility with bare
2.5-inch hard drives and SSDs.
The GoFlex 2.5-inch external drive enables users to enjoy
instant access to their music, movies, photos and data, seamlessly
transfer content between devices, as well as store, automatically
and continuously backup, encrypt and access files -- anywhere and
at any time.
"The Sonata IV and DF-35 already come packed with useful
solutions, a wide variety of features and convenient access to
components," said Tak Niwa, director of Antec enclosures and
accessories. "Computex 2011 is the ideal event to demonstrate how
these enclosures enabled for GoFlex modules will bring convenience,
accessibility to data and portability to help meet the fast-paced
lifestyles of today's enthusiasts and creative professionals."
The Certified GoFlex Storage System initiative is a
certification process whereby Seagate will qualify products from
participating companies to incorporate slots that meet the
specifications of accepting ultra-portable drives that meet the
Certified GoFlex Storage System standard. The Certified GoFlex
Storage System will establish placement of both slot-based consumer
electronics devices as well as certification of third-party
external storage modules. Seagate's certification also endorses the
soon to be established USM™ (Universal Storage Module) SATA
interface specification.
The USM™ specification is a standard specification to accept a
complete, powered external storage device into consumer electronic
devices. Modules designed according to the USM™ specification will
enable consumers to instantly access their music, movies, photos
and other content from a variety of consumer electronics products,
and to seamlessly transfer content between devices.
"Seagate is pleased to be working with Antec in providing
additional storage options for their customers," said Patrick
Connolly, vice president of development and general manager for
Seagate retail. "The system builder and gamer audience that Antec
has a close relationship with readily understand the value of
numerous storage options because they consume so much capacity with
their games and media files."
Join Antec at the Taipei World Trade Center from May 31 - June
4, 2011 in Nangang Exhibition Hall, First floor, Booths J802, J902,
