Segate Introduces 750GB External Hard Drive
April 28, 2006
Scotts Valley, CA - Seagate Technology introduced what they call the world's first three-quarter Terabyte external hard drive - the Seagate 750GB Pushbutton Back-up Hard Drive ($599).
As the newest addition to Seagate's line of consumer products, the 750GB Pushbutton Back-up Hard Drive is designed to offer the most convenient way for consumers to store all of their treasured digital content right on their desktop. For the first time, digital aficionados can easily manage their ever-increasing digital content on one small desktop device that can hold all of the following: 15,000 digital songs, 15,000 digital photos, 50 hours of home videos, 50 computer games, and 25 DVD movies - with 300GB of additional space left over to easily backup their notebook and desktop computers. What previously would have resided on multiple hard drives in a large enclosure on the floor has now been replaced by Seagate with a sleek desktop design that takes up as little space as a tape dispenser.
"Our lives are increasingly dependent on digital content..." said Jim Druckrey, senior vice president and general manager of Seagate Branded Solutions. "...digital music, photos, movies and documents are the currency of the new millennium. Seagate is changing the rules and providing new solutions for collecting, storing and protecting the artifacts of our digital age, and doing so in ways that more easily fit our lifestyles."
A Digital Content Vault on Your Desk

The Pushbutton Back-up Hard Drive also includes USB 2.0 and Firewire 1394 connections to provide a wide range of connectivity choices for people with different computing platforms and sports a sleek design incorporating a sturdy, non-slip stand for vertical desktop placement plus the ability to stack multiple drives on top of one another, creating a massive, multi-Terabyte desktop storage system in approximately a 7 by 7 inch footprint.
Built on the Barracuda 7200.10
