Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX) today introduced Backup
Plus FAST portable drive; the world’s first portable 4TB storage
device, providing twice the capacity and speed of existing external
portable drives. This new Seagate® Backup Plus FAST drive features
a superspeed USB 3.0 interface to deliver transfer speeds up to
220MB per second, making it the perfect companion for a field
photographer or filmmaker looking to quickly move large files to
backup.

“With Backup Plus FAST, Seagate has taken a very mature product
category and has delivered innovative enhancements to address the
real world challenges of our customers,” said Scott Horn, vice
president of global marketing for Seagate. “The performance and
capacity of this new portable drive is beyond that of any other
external offering to date. We believe that the Backup Plus FAST
drive will be widely adopted by creative professionals as the go-to
back up device for the field.”
The metal top-case of Seagate Backup Plus FAST drive is a
quality sturdy design and is resistant to scratches and
fingerprints. It needs no external power supply and is compact
enough to fit easily in a camera bag or backpack while delivering
the same or higher capacity of today’s desktop drives. The drive is
configured as RAID 0, which stripes the data across both drives
increasing the volume capacity and transfer speed.
“Speed and capacity are of the utmost importance in my work
which calls for the latest in digital photography and video
technologies. When dealing with the large files these devices
produce, whether it is a still photo, time-lapse video or 4k video;
having high-capacity reliable and fast storage can make the
difference between a project succeeding or failing,” says Jim
Sugar, veteran National Geographic photographer. “Ingesting,
editing, managing, and backing up these files, which are often
gigabytes in size, represent the crucial steps that make up my
digital workflow.”
“My job depends on how the technology performs, because if the
camera, computer and hard drives do not function as expected,
either the project will be a failure or the time spent in
post-production will be impacted tremendously. Time is valuable to
a filmmaker or photographer and anything that can speed up the
necessary processes is valuable to me and in the end, the
client.”
This new offering also includes the same easy to use backup
software that has made the Seagate Backup Plus line up so popular.
The Seagate Dashboard software provides an easy one-click backup
solution, but can also be set as a scheduled backup up as needed.
Additionally, the Dashboard software will back up Facebook and
Flickr albums to ensure that even video and photos shared through
these networks are backed up and easy to find. Use the Save and
Share features to download and upload content from these social
network sites. Even all the photos you have been tagged in can be
backed up from your social networks to the drive.
The latest update to the Dashboard now also includes a mobile
backup application to provide protection for one’s digital data on
mobile devices. Install the free Seagate Mobile Backup app on an
iOS or Android mobile device to back up all of the pictures and
videos from that device to a drive or a cloud service. Back up from
mobile devices can also be sent directly to the drive via a WiFi
connection while within your network, or utilize cloud services
such as Dropbox or Google Drive while on the road.
Pricing and Availability:
The 4TB Seagate Backup Plus FAST portable drive is currently
available from Seagate.com, for an MSRP of $299.99.
