Global storage solutions leader Seagate Technology moves beyond traditional backup and external storage when it introduced recently its FreeAgent family of data movers in the country.
With a distinctive blend of integrated content management software and an elegant, sophisticated design, the new FreeAgent family of data movers is both stylish and functional to match consumers’ digital lifestyles.
“With the FreeAgent family of data movers, Seagate is moving beyond traditional storage. As the digital generation creates and consumes increasing amounts of content, consumers are demanding user-friendly storage solutions that provide anytime, anywhere access to match their on-the-go lifestyles,” said Kevin Lee, Seagate managing director for channel sales and marketing in the Asia-Pacific.
“Our FreeAgent family of data movers is an exquisite offering of storage solutions, both beautiful and functional, blending aesthetics and digital content management tools into a seamless device for work or home. It’s literally about being able to escape the confines of your desktop or your laptop — and have your content available to you where you need and when you need it,” he added.
Seagate has developed revolutionary perpendicular recording technology to provide vast capacity in a device with a footprint no bigger than a stapler.
Seagate’s flagship model is FreeAgent Pro, which provides prosumers, creative professionals and others who are serious about their digital content with the freedom to stay connected to it. This data mover combines desktop and online solutions that let you access your content from anywhere, share it with anyone, and sync it to almost anything.
The fully integrated solution allows consumers to automatically synchronize content they select wherever they want it — like automatically transferring your latest project files to a flash drive, copying e-mail and contacts from Microsoft Outlook to an iPod or quickly syncing an entire “My Documents” folders to the FreeAgent Pro.
FreeAgent Pro data movers provide an entirely new way to interact with and manage digital content, providing much more than just storage.
In addition to the full suite of software tools, every FreeAgent Pro data mover includes access to your own private Seagate Internet Drive, an online service that provides a “24/7 ATM” to post, access and share your favorite files from anywhere using the Web.
The FreeAgent Pro data mover will include a trial offer of 500 megabytes of online space, which is free of charge for the first six months and upgradeable anytime. Access to the Seagate Internet Drive will be password-protected, so users can safely provide access to their content to trusted friends and family.
With a consumer-friendly interface and integrated software tools, FreeAgent Pro data movers are simple and easy to use. They include a revolutionary, interchangeable modular interface system that provides both a combo USB 2.0 and eSATA interface, and dual FireWire 400 ports for easy connection to a variety of computing devices.
Their ultra-slim design and base-mounted cables make it easy to keep your desk free of clutter and their unique, brushed aluminum espresso-brown color with amber illumination add sophistication to your desktop. Their extra-quiet design allows them to live peacefully in homes or offices.
The recommended retail price for the FreeAgent Pro is P10,410 (320GB), P13,434 (500GB), and P19,034 (750GB) for the dual FireWire 400.
The new Seagate FreeAgent Go, on the other hand, is designed for college students, mobile consumers and business professionals. Unlike many portable storage solutions that merely store, protect or synchronize files between PCs, it gives you the freedom to carry your computing environment with you — including Web favorites, passwords and settings, IM, e-mail, contacts and digital files — without having to haul around your laptop or desktop PC.
Simply plug a FreeAgent Go data mover into any Windows computer’s USB 2.0 port, and you have your personal computing experience with you wherever you go. When finished, your private information and personalized settings are stored on the FreeAgent Go data mover, not on the host computer. When unplugged, you leave no trace on the host computer — no passwords, no files, and no Web history.
File encryption is provided for additional data security, and you can synchronize any digital file from any number of computers at the home or office. They can run more than 100 free and pay-to-use applications on any PC without installing or storing programs on borrowed computers.
The tiny device sports a sleek compact design that easily fit into a shirt, pants or jacket pocket. The FreeAgent Go retails for P6,042 (80GB), P7,834 (120GB), and P8,954 (160GB).
Last but not least, FreeAgent Desktop drives are ideal for anyone needing a simple way to extend their digital treasure chest of photos, movies, music, games and documents. They provide simple add-on storage for people to gather and access their content in one place. They are PC- and Mac-compatible with a USB 2.0 interface for easy connection.
The FreeAgent Desktop retails for P5,930 (250GB), P7,498 (320GB), and P10,074 (500GB).
All Seagate FreeAgent desktop and portable solutions feature an unmatched five-year limited warranty, and are now available via the company’s distributor, Millennium Computer Technology Corp., and major IT retailers across the country.
