blackarmor CES 2008: Seagate Shows Off New Software Interface for Shared Storage Hard DrivesSeagate has a new portable hard drive to show off that is looking good enough to make its way down the cat walk, if there ever was a cat walk for hard drives. The Maxtor BlackArmor has been designed for users looking to carry around their important documents while having the piece of mind to know that they are safe and secure. Available in a 160GB capacity, the BlackArmor keeps your data locked up and private using hardware-based encryption so that there is no need to set up and install software (they must know about how lazy we are). The drive is expected to retail for $149.99.seagateemail CES 2008: Seagate Shows Off New Software Interface for Shared Storage Hard Drives

They also have new software in development set to run on their current Shared Storage II networked hard drive systems and future models. The software is significantly more organized and easier to navigate than their current version. This upcoming software update will also unlock new welcome features for the Shared Storage II system such as FTP access and the ability to share files over the internet. Using the new software, from the show floor a Seagate representative sent us an email with a link to download a file located in a Shared Storage II drive at their booth.
