(IBC Booth# C11, HALL 7) – Today at the 2019 IBC
Show, LaCie, the premium brand from Seagate Technology plc
(NASDAQ: STX), announced three new storage solutions for
creative, media and entertainment (M&E) professionals. The new
LaCie® Rugged® SSD Pro, LaCie® Rugged® SSD, and
LaCie® Rugged® BOSS SSD deliver world-class,
precision-engineered solutions to help M&E professionals easily
manage their precious content ensuring their data is secure and
accessible anytime, anywhere.
According to a recent IDC whitepaper, sponsored by
Seagate, the amount of data created, captured or replicated by the
M&E industry across the globe from 2018 to 2025 is expected to
grow at a 25% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). Creative
professionals should consider implementing a data strategy that
supports this level of mobility; choosing a solution that can
handle the increase in volume of data and facilitate the management
of their workflow.
Designed to help M&E professionals manage the huge volumes
of data their workflows create, the new LaCie® Rugged® SSD
Pro, LaCie® Rugged® SSD, and LaCie® Rugged® BOSS
SSD celebrate 30 years of LaCie’s creativity as the industry
continues to transform.
Top Speeds Solution: Built for Extreme 8K Filming and
Editing
The LaCie® Rugged® SSD Pro satisfies the cravings of
filmmakers and digital imaging technicians (DITs) for a scratch
disk with high-speed transfers and editing power for up to 8K
high-res and super slow motion footage.
This drive features a Seagate® FireCuda® NVMe SSD inside for
maximum Thunderbolt™ 3 speeds up to 2800MB/s and extreme in-field
durability so filmmakers and DITs can playback 6K, 8K, and super
slow-motion source files anywhere — without transcoding1.
Previously, Thunderbolt 3 devices would only work with Thunderbolt
3 computers; now, the LaCie® Rugged® SSD Pro features the latest
Thunderbolt 3 controller and is the first Thunderbolt 3 portable
storage solution offering USB 3.1 compatibility for seamless
plug and play connectivity.
This palm-sized drive can tackle any terrain with its impressive
IP67-rated dust and water resistance, three-meter drop tolerance,
and two-ton car crush resistance2. It is the first Thunderbolt 3
storage solution that can be immersed in water up to one meter for
up to 30 minutes. Plus, enjoy long-term peace of mind with the
included five-year limited warranty protection plan featuring
Rescue Data Recovery Services. Customers will also benefit from a
one-month complimentary membership to Adobe® Creative Cloud® All
Apps Plan for access to awesome photo and video editing apps.
These exciting features make the LaCie® Rugged®
SSD Pro the most robust and versatile Thunderbolt 3 portable
storage on the market. The LaCie® Rugged® SSD
Pro will be available with MSRPs of $399.99 (1TB) and $699.99
(2TB).
“Media and entertainment companies are facing increasingly
competitive markets,” said Jeff Fochtman, vice president of
Consumer Solution and Global Marketing for Seagate and LaCie
brands. “Combining 40 years of Seagate’s passion and 30 years of
LaCie’s creativity, the new Rugged solutions are designed to help
M&E professionals move their data and ideas forward; turning
projects into industry-recognized accomplishments.”
“The LaCie Rugged SSD Pro is the first portable device in the
market to feature the latest Thunderbolt 3 technology,” said Jason
Ziller, General Manager Client Connectivity Division at Intel. “The
JHL7440 controller enables LaCie to offer industry-leading
performance through Thunderbolt 3-based PCs and compatibility with
legacy computers.”
Level Up Your 4K Video Project
The LaCie® Rugged® SSD provides filmmakers and DITs with
high-speed transfers and editing power, extreme ruggedness and
Seagate Secure™ self-encrypting technology with password protection
for project confidentiality. With Seagate® FireCuda® NVMe SSD
inside, users will experience USB 3.1 Gen 2 speeds of up to
950MB/s, enabling them to transfer and edit RAW 4K video with
ease1.
This hand-held, portable solution provides plenty of capacity,
up to 2TB, and, like all members of the next-generation Rugged
family, it is rated IP67 for water resistance, three-meter drop
tolerance, and two-ton car crush resistance2. It also comes with
Seagate’s five-year limited warranty and Rescue Data Recovery
Services plan as well as a one-month complimentary membership to
Adobe® Creative Cloud® All Apps Plan. The LaCie® Rugged® SSD
will be available with MSRPs of $179.99 (500GB), $299.99 (1TB) and
$499.99 (2TB).
Go Laptop Free with BOSS
Fast and beyond efficient, the LaCie® Rugged® BOSS
SSD satisfies filmmakers and photographers needing a fast,
easy, computer-free way to copy, review, and manage content on the
go.
The LaCie® Rugged® BOSS SSD comes with a spacious 1TB of
capacity enabling users to tap into fast SSD speeds of up to
430MB/s with direct file transfers via the integrated SD card slot
and USB port1. The built-in status screen provides real-time

your workflow seamlessly3. With the LaCie BOSS app on iOS and

mobile device for the ultimate on-the-go experience.
Designed to tackle any terrain with drop, splash and dust
resistance, the LaCie® Rugged® BOSS SSD can be used as a
portable power pack for USB devices like phones and mirrorless
cameras3. With a 3-year limited warranty and Seagate’s Rescue Data
Recovery Services included, the drive includes a complimentary
