Seagate’s really having fun with their external storage drives for video game consoles. In partnership with Microsoft, they’ve come out with several special editions for game releases, along with HDD and SSD options (most recently showing off a 4 TB HDD along with the Xbox Game Pass announcement). At E3 this week, they’re announcing their […]
Now that Xbox Game Pass is here, Seagate thinks you might need a bit more storage. A subscription service that covers some Xbox 360 and Xbox One games under one monthly fee, Game Pass might get gamers to install a lot more games on their consoles than before, so Seagate might have a point. They’re […]
Lately, we’ve seen Seagate try to make external storage drives a little more interesting with branding partnerships and drives marketed for specific uses. So far, we’ve seen a lot of that from their partnership with Microsoft, resulting in special edition drives for new games, plus an external HDD and an external SSD built for the […]
So…dehydrated…quick run to get water during a loading screen? Not anymore. Exaggeration aside, with Seagate’s new Game Drive for Xbox 512 GB SSD, it’s not far-fetched. Once plugged in, the Xbox One will prompt the user to select whether the drive will be used for media (music, videos, etc.) or for games. Media mode will allow […]
At first blush, an external hard drive built as a backup specifically for a cloud storage service seems a bit silly, but wouldn’t you know it, Amazon and Seagate have a point. The Duet is a 1 TB external hard drive that syncs easily with an Amazon Drive account, making those files accessible without an […]
Seagate is introducing the largest capacity portable HDD yet, announcing a 5 TB capacity of their Backup Plus Portable Drive yesterday. Seagate has been offering 4 TB models since 2014, and managed to shrink down the physical size of the drives last year. This year, they managed to shrink their 1 TB HDD platters just […]
The Xbox One can be purchased with between 500 GB and 2 TB of storage, which sounds like a lot. But, then you consider that a game like Gears of War 4 takes up almost 80 GB worth of storage, and suddenly those drives don’t sound so big. That prompted Seagate to introduce the Game Drive, an […]
We probably should have guessed that Seagate wasn’t done with just their plain green 2 TB Game Drive for Xbox external hard drive. The Game Drive, an external HDD fast enough for gamers to play Xbox One games stored on the drive, was a decent pickup when it launched last year, and now it looks […]
Seagate has updated their Backup Plus line of desktop external hard drives with the Backup Plus Hub, a similar drive that adds two USB 3.0 ports to help users charge devices or plug peripherals directly into the external drive. They’ve also upped the capacities available, although the extra color options are no more — it’s all black […]
Seagate is pushing out their yearly update to their Backup Plus line of hard drives this week with the Backup Plus Hub. With the movement against ports taking hold in the notebook world (see: MacBook, ZenBook 3), we’ve been on the lookout for good hubs that help ease the pain. The Backup Plus Hub is […]
It’s pretty hard to make storage interesting when the bulk of people probably make their purchasing decisions based on whatever happens to be on sale at the time, but Seagate always manages to spice things up come CES time. Their LaCie brand has a long history of storage drives-as-art, and this year is no different. […]
Seagate’s Backup Plus Portable Drive is all about packing in a lot of storage, in a compact body. Because lets face it, 1TB and 2TB just isn’t enough anymore – photos and video files alone can accumulate really quickly. In any case, the drive measures just 78.00mm wide, 114.50mm and it weighs just 541g. It’s […]
How do you celebrate 35 years in the storage business? You release the world’s thinnest external drive of course. The Seagate Seven is a new frontier in portable storage, so not only is it extremely cool looking, but it is only 7 mm thick with a capacity of 500 GB. That may not sound that […]
Sometimes, CES is at its best when companies just go out there and show off for the sake of showing off. Take the Seagate Seven—did Seagate need to make a 7 mm thick HDD? Probably not, but we’re glad they did anyway. The Seagate Seven is a 500 GB external hard drive that, at 7 […]
Here is some good news for Seagate Central users – Seagate now has its own dedicated channel on Roku that you can use to stream your content conveniently. If you have Seagate Central personal cloud storage or Seagate Wireless Plus, you can connect your device wirelessly to a Roku box and access all of your content […]
External portable hard drives are a dime a dozen, but Seagate’s new Backup Plus Fast Portable Drive manages to pack in 4TB of storage in a body that measures just 116.90mm x 82.50mm and weighs just 0.307kg / 10.8 ounces. But not only is that a lot of storage in a small space, Seagate claims […]
Seagate at CES announced The Backup Plus FAST and Slim, two hard drives with incredible features. The Backup Plus FAST drive is the world’s first portable 4TB storage device with twice as fast speed as current external portable drives. It hits transfer speeds of up to 220MB per second. While the Backup Plus Slim comes […]
Introducing data insurance. That’s not what Seagate is calling it, but that’s pretty much what it is – coverage for data recovery services and a replacement hard drive should you accidentally drop your external one time too many.
Thanks to a breakthrough by Seagate, tablets with storage capacities comparable to PCs might just be on the horizon. The Seagate Ultra Mobile HDD is the company’s first HDD designed for use in tablets, and it could bring more capacity, using the same amount of power. And, most importantly, it’ll be cheaper. The Ultra Mobile […]
NAS drives have been around for years, but there have been few that really appeal to the mainstream home user. That said, we think that the Seagate Central has the potential to change all that. This easy to use drive connects to your home Wi-Fi network and is able to wirelessly back up all of […]
Last year we reviewed Seagate’s Satellite Wireless Hard Drive and were impressed; this year we’re reviewing Seagate’s Wireless Plus, the 1TB big brother, and we’re blown away. The Wireless Plus gives you an incredible amount of storage in a handheld device that can wirelessly stream and transfer content to your phone, tablet, and other devices. […]
