NAB Booth# SL8511 – Today at the 2019 NAB Show,
LaCie, the premium brand from Seagate Technology (NASDAQ: STX),
announced two new storage solutions for creative professionals and
prosumers. The new LaCie® Rugged® RAID Shuttle and LaCie
2big RAID build on the brand’s record of efficient preservation
of high-value, high-resolution digital imagery through the capture,
edit, distribution, and archiving workflow.
Digital transformation in the media and entertainment industry
has led to rapid data growth. In fact, according to a recent IDC
whitepaper sponsored by Seagate, the media and entertainment
(M&E) datasphere – the amount of data created, captured or
replicated across the globe – is expected to grow at a 25% compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2018 to 2025.
For 30 years, LaCie has helped creative professionals from
production houses to hard-core hobbyists manage their data and the
new LaCie Rugged RAID Shuttle and LaCie 2big RAID
offer two new solutions to easily share, manage, and keep data
secure.
“M&E continues to see extraordinary growth in high-value
digital content creation,” said Jeff Fochtman, vice president of
consumer solutions and global marketing for Seagate. “Seagate and
LaCie brands are synonymous with quality storage solutions required
for today’s complex workflows. We’re also addressing the growing
need to keep data secure during the entire creative process.”
Shuttle Your Projects Safely
Addressing the increasing demand for reliable, high-performance
storage offering portability, the LaCie Rugged RAID Shuttle,
designed by acclaimed product designer, Neil Poulton, is the next
iteration of the brand’s popular Rugged lineup. For 14 years, the
Rugged drives have served creative professionals across the globe
with reliable and secure storage solutions that offer
industry-leading drop, shock, water, and dust resistance.
Designed with its famous orange rubber shell, the Rugged RAID
Shuttle sports a massive 8TB of storage capacity in a clever
flat design that can easily fit in a backpack or shipping envelope,
making it an ideal shuttle drive for creative pros. It offers up to
250 MB/s in RAID 0 for performance, and RAID 1 for data redundancy,
easily configured through the LaCie Toolkit. The drive also
features Seagate Secure™ Hardware Encryption with password
protection helping to keep your sensitive data protected from
unauthorized access or intellectual property theft.
The Rugged RAID Shuttle offers USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gb/s)
technology with USB-C connector compatible with next-generation
Thunderbolt 3 and is backward compatible with USB 3.0. With a
3-year limited warranty and Seagate’s Rescue Data Recovery Services
included, the drive includes a complimentary 1-month subscription
to Adobe Creative Cloud® All-Apps plan (a $52.99 value)
featuring Adobe Premiere® Pro, Photoshop®, Adobe Illustrator®, and
more. The 8TB LaCie Rugged RAID Shuttle will be
available in May with an MSRP of $529.99.
Professional Raid Made Easy
For creatives who constantly juggle data-intensive projects with
the need for professional grade speed, the LaCie 2big RAID
offers up to 16TB of capacity for desktop storage featuring
Seagate’s IronWolf® Pro enterprise-class drives. Users can transfer
footage quickly and efficiently with speeds of up to 440 MB/s and
rely on the device’s USB-C connection for universal compatibility
including Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gb/s), and legacy USB
3.0.
Also designed by Neil Poulton, the LaCie 2big RAID
features a handsome space gray aluminum enclosure designed to
reduce noise and vibration. It is pre-formatted exFAT and takes the
mystery out of setting up RAID modes through the included LaCie
Toolkit with RAID configuration. With a standard 5-Year Limited
Warranty with Rescue Data Recovery Services and complimentary
1-month Adobe Creative Cloud All-Apps plan, LaCie 2big RAID
is available this month with MSRPs of $419 (4TB), $529 (8TB), and
$739 (16TB).
For those joining the 2019 NAB Show in person, LaCie and Seagate
(South Hall booth # SL8511) will demonstrate how the latest storage
systems and solutions can help improve the creative workflow
process from creative hobbyists through professionals running the
biggest post-production studios.
