00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:07,240
so here we are in the Seagate Suite with three tiers of products although only

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:10,559
one of them is going to make me cry let's find out why so we'll start as

3
00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:15,759
always with a huge shout out to Squarespace for allowing us to be here at CES 2016 check out the link in the

4
00:00:14,679 --> 00:00:21,640
video description to learn more about Squarespace as if you don't already know everything about them already it starts

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:26,840
right here with the Backup Plus ultra slim which as you you imagine it if

6
00:00:24,199 --> 00:00:33,280
folks out there might be able to imagine is ultra slim so it's a 7mm Drive inside

7
00:00:30,359 --> 00:00:38,960
a 9.6 mm plastic enclosure it's got a standard USB 3 mini B that sort of goofy

8
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:42,520
dual connector thing on the back and other than the fact that it comes with a

9
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:47,199
couple hundred gigs of cloud storage is not really that different from other

10
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,960
small slim external drives that seate has done in the past it's available in

11
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:54,440
one and two terab capacities and has got kind of this like honeycomb design that

12
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:58,800
I'm sure you know someone at Seagate worked really hard on and then was like

13
00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:01,719
super upset when Seagate was like well we're going to do a more Premium One

14
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:05,720
it's going to have a metal enclosure but we're going to turn to uh Porsche to

15
00:01:03,559 --> 00:01:09,600
design this so you know Johnny from Johnny from industrial design you can

16
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:12,320
just kind of maybe take like a couple month leave of absence we're going to

17
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:16,799
have someone else work on this one but the good news is that Porsche Design

18
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:21,680
actually did do a pretty nice job of it it's an all aluminum ID it's got kind of

19
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:24,600
that beveled Edge thing going on which I guess if you're into the looks of

20
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:30,040
products is kind of cool there's a relatively thin one and there's also

21
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:34,399
available in a 4 TB capacity a much thicker one but if you're like me and

22
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:38,560
you're all into like specs and megabytes and connectors then the real cool stuff

23
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:43,640
is actually on the back where it's got a USB type-c connector and this is man

24
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:49,680
these standards have gotten confusing 3.1 gen 1 so that's 5 gigabit that's

25
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:53,399
like what we used to call USB 3.0 but for some reason they're just want to

26
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:57,280
make all of our heads explode so thanks for that there's also a desktop version

27
00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:03,479
of this one available on 4 five and 8 tabt also same thing super speed USB spe

28
00:02:00,039 --> 00:02:05,600
3.1 gen one Etc and this one has

29
00:02:03,479 --> 00:02:09,560
external power a to power the drive and B this is cool you can power up and

30
00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:13,760
charge your MacBook with it if you connect via that single connector that

31
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:19,879
apple in their Infinite Wisdom put on the MacBook Retina which leads us to the

32
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:23,200
one that makes me cry a little bit and there's different kinds of Tears

33
00:02:21,319 --> 00:02:28,200
associated with this as well although this is definitely the top tier product

34
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:32,000
so they turned back to Neil pton to

35
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:34,040
design this very mirror like what

36
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:41,400
they're calling the Chom because that is how to achieve true

37
00:02:38,159 --> 00:02:43,440
pretentiousness to put an aent A on the

38
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:49,440
end of a word that would have otherwise worked simply fine so the Chrome a is

39
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:54,720
actually a solid state based Drive even though it's in a 3 and 1 half inch drive

40
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,519
like looking enclosure size it's got

41
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:01,560
this like sick magnetic base like check this out like it it's like stuck it's like

42
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:05,120
freaking magnets right how do they work there you go so it's got this magnetic

43
00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:10,799
base that it like locks onto oh get

44
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:17,440
off which it like re like really goes on to this one uses USB 3.1 Gen 2 or

45
00:03:14,799 --> 00:03:21,200
whatever anyway 10 gigabit per second connectivity through a type-c connector

46
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:29,000
also has external power and there's a lot of cool stuff under the hood here it uses two m.2 ssds inside for a total

47
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:32,799
capacity of 1 tbte and you're kind of sitting here going well on a second like

48
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:37,040
it looks like a hard drive it's got Seagate on the outside of the bo well l

49
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:41,480
c actually Seagate owns L I should have probably clarified that why does it have

50
00:03:39,239 --> 00:03:47,159
an SSD inside well my friends it's for performance this puppy is capable of 1

51
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:49,840
Gigabyte per second read speeds over

52
00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:55,640
that typ c connector pretty freaking amazing right when can I sign up you

53
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:59,640
probably won't unless you're the same type of customer that's heading over to

54
00:03:57,439 --> 00:04:04,680
the uh Sennheiser Booth to pre-order the $50,000 orus because this my friends is

55
00:04:02,519 --> 00:04:10,760
a $1,300 external hard drive except that

56
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:14,319
it's an SSD but you know whatever we're not going to we're not going to nitpick

57
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:19,440
these little details yes my friends it is not cheap but it is beautiful and the

58
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:23,400
reality of it is is that while the the tears I cry over the performance are

59
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:28,360
tears of joy the and the tears I cry over the price are tears of I can't

60
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:31,560
afford one what I do like about this is

61
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:34,000
at at least seate through the ly brand

62
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:37,800
has the coonies to say okay we're going to build a premium product and we are

63
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:42,720
going to price it like a premium product and sure you can still buy a plastic

64
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:47,400
hard drive but you also don't have to you know if your desk costs as much as

65
00:04:45,039 --> 00:04:52,280
someone else's car in your office you can put this on it and you can feel like

66
00:04:49,039 --> 00:04:53,720
a big shot I know I would so thanks for
