CES 07: Seagate aims to make backup chic
Seagate is aiming to give an air of sex to storage, with its sleekly designed FreeAgent external backup family of products.
The FreeAgent Pro comes in 320GB, 500GB and 750GB versions and is aimed
at being more of a lifestyle and backup device.
It includes 500MB of online storage that is free for six months, after which it is a paid for service (the capacity can be increased).
The idea, said Seagate, is to have a limited amount of data available from anywhere where there is internet access. Prices range from $200 to $400.
The base FreeAgent Desktop version, which comes with 250GB, 320GB and 500GB, is designed to be a pure back up device. Prices range from $149 to $249.
The FreeAgent Go is the portable version, coming with an 80GB, 120GB or 160GB hard disk drive, costing from $130.
Can the desktop verson be used on its side without that ugly stand?
