Seagate Technology has unveiled a number of new storage solutions including new solid state drive offerings from CES 2019, which have been designed to help with creatives workflow in our current, data-heavy lifestyles.

People are blessed with ever more ways in which to consume content nowadays, driving the need to create, distribute and manage data efficiently. According to a recent IDC whitepaper, five billion users interact with data each and every day. By the time we get to 2025, this number is expected to rise to six billion, or 75% of the earth’s population.

Of these six billion people is expected to produce [at least] one interaction every 18 seconds, taking the amount of data created worldwide to 175 zettabytes by 2025.

Jeff Fochtman, vice president of marketing for Seagate, told Photobite: “ “Today’s digital world impacts businesses and consumers globally. Companies are increasing digitisation and consumers are embracing personalised, real-time data interactions. With these changes come higher expectations for managing data. With over 40 years’ experience in data management, Seagate is continuously innovating to prepare customers for this new era of data resilience. Our new lineup of data storage solutions empowers consumers to efficiently manage their video, photos, and documents, at home, in the office, or on-the-go.”

Seagate’s latest storage products includes a number of solutions that we believe will be appealing to both Photographers and videographers:
