“The launch of the Backup Plus Ultra Slim builds on Seagate’s
rich history of award-winning innovation to give users even more
capacity in an incredibly small form factor,” said Tim Bucher, vice
president for Seagate’s Consumer Group. “Based on our breakthrough
ultra-mobile hard drive technology, this new storage solution gives
them a better way to manage the increase in both data volumes and
number of devices.”
Sleek New Design for Ultimate Portability and
Capacity
At just 9.6mm, the Backup Plus Ultra Slim external drive employs
Seagate’s latest 2.5-inch HDD technology, making it more than 50
percent thinner than other 2TB drives on the market. Thanks to its
low-profile, high-capacity design, users can keep more than 500,000
songs, 320,000 photos or 240 hours of high definition video in
their pocket*. Available in gorgeous golden or platinum metal
finish, this sleek new product is designed to complement the looks
of stylish computers, tablets and phones.
One-Click or Customizable Backup
The Backup Plus Slim includes Seagate® Dashboard software, which
offers users either one-click on-demand or customizable, scheduled
backups for their devices. This allows users to schedule backups
for when it’s most convenient.
Simple Cloud Storage and Management
Backup Plus Ultra Slim comes with 200GB of free Microsoft
OneDrive cloud storage for two years, which lets users share and
access their favorite files anywhere on a mobile device or a PC.
The Backup Plus Ultra Slim also includes Lyve software, which helps
users to protect precious photos and videos from their digital
cameras and smartphones and automatically organizes them into a
single unified library accessible from any mobile device or
computer.
Pricing and Availability
The Seagate Backup Plus Ultra Slim gold and platinum finishes
will be available this quarter from Amazon and Seagate.com.
