Seagate Technology today unveiled a new portfolio of 10TB high capacity drives dubbed the Guardian Series. Purpose-built to help customers better manage and move the huge amounts of digital data they consume and create, the 10TB Seagate BarraCuda Pro desktop drive, Seagate IronWolf for NAS applications and Seagate SkyHawk for surveillance introduce new brand names and imagery and represent the most complete 10TB portfolio in the industry.
The Guardian Series features industry leading technology that raises the bar on features, speed and capacity for use across a wide range of markets, including personal, creative and design computing, online gaming, small- and medium-sized businesses and large-scale surveillance systems.
“Consumers and organizations today face a similar challenge — what to do about the massive deluge of data and video they confront every day,” said Matt Rutledge, Senior Vice President of Client and Consumer Storage at Seagate. “Whether it’s dominating in the latest game, producing compelling multimedia content, mining data to help create new apps and business services, helping to protect people and places around the world against new threats, and more, the Seagate Guardian Series is designed to preserve your most critical data and move it where it’s needed fast so you can make the most of it. By incorporating powerful new features and capabilities, our 10TB products also make it easier for everyone to create, consume and use data,” he added.
Innovative capabilities in the new 10TB drives include multi-tier caching technology, an intelligent caching architecture for maximized performance; AgileArray, designed to optimize drive performance through error recovery control, dual-plane balancing, and power management; and ImagePerfect for surveillance, supporting more high resolution cameras than any other industry drive.
Seagate’s 10TB product branding represents the next phase of the company’s new corporate brand unveiled at CES in 2015, in which Seagate introduced its “Living Logo” that visually captured the idea that data is most valuable as part of our daily lives at home and at work. The new Guardian Series product brands link this living data concept more directly to Seagate’s foundational technologies in a way that is memorable and easier for customers to understand.
