From gung-ho gamers to Instagram gurus, photo-collecting parents, or visionary creatives, Seagate offers the data storage solutions that empower users to live their best digital lives in today’s fast-changing data-heavy landscape.

This week we’ll report about what Seagate’s sharing with CES showgoers about how we’re helping level up your data dexterity; how to level up your workflow using purpose-built tools for seamless data management at home, office or studio; how to level up the gaming experience like a pro gamer or game designer; and how businesses, large organizations and civilization itself are leveling up to IT 4.0 as data architecture is evolving to solve the future.

Let’s start the week off here by introducing you to our newest products — read on!

Today, consumers have more ways than ever to consume content, driving the need to create, distribute and manage data efficiently. According to a recent IDC whitepaper sponsored by Seagate, five billion consumers are currently interacting with data every single day. By 2025, that number will jump to six billion, or 75 percent of the world’s population. Each of those six billion people will have at least one data interaction every 18 seconds, bumping the amount of data created worldwide to 175 zettabytes by 2025. Consumers increasingly need reliable ways to collect, protect, manage and access a good portion of that data, and Seagate’s latest products – including the cutting-edge LaCie® Mobile Drive, LaCie Mobile SSD, Seagate Backup Plus HDDs, FireCuda® 510 and BarraCuda® 510 internal SSDs, and IronWolf® 110 NAS SSD – are designed to fit a variety of data storage needs and digital lifestyles.

“Today’s digital world impacts businesses and consumers globally. Companies are increasing digitization and consumers are embracing personalized, real-time data interactions. With these changes come higher expectations for managing data,” said Jeff Fochtman, vice president of marketing for Seagate. “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 empower consumers to efficiently manage their video, photos, and documents, at home, in the office, or on-the-go.”

Seagate’s newest lineup of storage solutions helps consumers level up and manage their data storage needs. They include:
