Accessible, Secure And Personal – It’s Your
Cloud Now
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX), a world leader in storage
solutions, today unveiled two new storage products for the home,
Seagate® Personal Cloud and Seagate® Personal Cloud 2-Bay. Seagate
Personal Cloud provides the accessibility of cloud storage with the
peace of mind that content is stored safely at home. What
differentiates these two Personal Cloud drives apart is how easily
they can stream content to smartphones, set-top boxes, tablets, PCs
or televisions via the Seagate Media application. Additionally,
when used in conjunction with the acclaimed Seagate Mobile Backup
app and Dashboard software, Seagate Personal Cloud also serves as a
central backup device for PCs, Mac computers, USB drives, iOS and
Android mobile devices.

Seagate Personal Cloud demystifies the often frustrating process
of finding, accessing and enjoying photos, videos and music on the
device of your choice. Once connected to a wireless router and
after a free download of the Seagate Media app, users will be
treated to an intuitive, media-rich browsing experience that makes
playback of content an effortless and enjoyable experience.
Unmatched in the number of compatible platforms and ease-of-use,
the Seagate Media apps support the following devices:
- TVs and Blu-ray players: LG Smart TVs
(2012 or later) and Samsung Smart TVs and Blu-ray players (2012
models or later with SmartHub)
- Streaming media players: Roku, Google
Chromecast, and Apple TV (via Apple AirPlay)
- Smartphones: iPhone, Android
- Tablets: iPad, Android™, Kindle,
Windows 8/RT
Seagate Personal Cloud can also stream directly to DLNA-based
devices, including the Sony PlayStation 3 or later, and Microsoft
Xbox 360 or later.
When away from home, users will have the ability to securely
retrieve and share content stored on the Seagate Personal Cloud
drive. By way of the Seagate Media app, users can browse and enjoy
content directly from their Personal Cloud drive in the same manner
they would do when at home.
For those who are comfortable with storing their data in public
cloud services, Seagate Personal Cloud drives can be configured to
complement a public cloud service with two types of applications,
backup and synchronization. Personal Cloud drives can be set up to
automatically back up to popular providers including: Amazon S3,
Box, Baidu, DropBox, Google Drive, HiDrive and Yandex.Disk, while
delivering an additional level of offsite protection.
Alternatively, a synchronization option is available for Baidu,
DropBox and Google Drive for those who simply need a secondary copy
of their most current data from their service.
“Given the abundance of handheld computing devices there has
been a trend of accessing content and content via cloud storage,”
said Stephen Baker, vice president of Industry Analysis for The NPD
Group. “A product like the Seagate Personal Cloud offers a new
approach at cloud storage allowing consumers to take advantage of
low-cost cloud opportunities while still remaining in control of
their content and access it from anywhere.”
Recognizing that storage needs will continue to evolve, Seagate
designed Personal Cloud devices with a built-in app manager that
enables the ability to install additional features after purchase.
An app-store like experience delivers a variety of apps including
WordPress, BitTorrent Sync and ElephantDrive. Seagate has also
created a software development kit (SDK) for its app manager to
enable 3rd party developers to create new and exciting use cases
for Personal Cloud drives.
Seagate Personal Cloud is also designed to automatically and
continuously back up every computer in the home. For Windows-based
PCs and Mac computers, the Seagate Dashboard software provides a
best-in-class way to protect your content. Personal Cloud devices
also work seamlessly with Apple Time Machine software.
Seagate Personal Cloud 2-Bay
The Personal Cloud 2-bay device is for users that want more than
one backup of their most important content in the unlikely event of
a drive failure. The Personal Cloud 2-bay—designed with two
internal drives—is configured out-of-the-box to automatically
duplicate all content stored on one drive to a secondary drive for
double protection and greater peace of mind. Alternatively, for
users that are seeking maximum capacity, the Personal Cloud 2-bay
product can be re-configured by the user into a single volume of
storage.
Availability
Seagate Personal Cloud will be shipping to retailers later this
month in 3TB, 4TB, and 5TB capacities. Seagate Personal Cloud 2-Bay
will be available in 4TB, 6TB and 8TB capacities. Both
configurations of Seagate Personal Cloud can be found at Amazon,
Seagate.com and BestBuy.
