There’s a great new video out today about the importance of hard drive storage in the creative process. Marc Prefontaine, a Staff Photographer from O’Neill Surf, discusses all the many uses and needs he has for the Seagate FreeAgent family of products, specifically for the Mac.
Marc does a lot of photo shoots for O’Neill, and he has to protect the content that he shoots while still in the field, as well as make sure that he has backups of all his content libraries when he is in the office. Amazingly, Marc actually travels with 4 FreeAgent Go for Mac disk drives in his bag when he travels. He loves them for their reliability, capacity, and high speed Firewire 800 interface. He keeps multiple copies right off the camera, and then makes additional copies when he returns to the office.
Marc knows from experience the value of the content he has on his Seagate FreeAgent hard drives, and he knows that he will need to have access to this content for a long time, whether he uses the images today or not. You never know when you will need something. So by having so many copies in the places he needs them, Marc is certain to always have access to the images he needs.
Marc carries as much capacity as he can with his FreeAgent Gos (models come in capacities as high as 1TB). He has even more capacity sitting on his desktop, with the FreeAgent line of desktop products that come in capacities as high as 2TB. And then with networked multi-drive products in the BlackArmor NAS line, we deliver capacities as high as 8TB.
Digital photography and video work require increasing amounts of storage space. Here at Seagate we take great pride in providing leading capacities with the quality and reliability that people like Marc depend on to store, protect and secure all the things that are so important to his livelihood.
