WEBVTT

00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:07.240
so here we are in the Seagate Suite with three tiers of products although only

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

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

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

00:00:19.720 --> 00:00:26.840
right here with the Backup Plus ultra slim which as you you imagine it if

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

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

00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:42.520
dual connector thing on the back and other than the fact that it comes with a

00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:47.199
couple hundred gigs of cloud storage is not really that different from other

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:50.960
small slim external drives that seate has done in the past it's available in

00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:54.440
one and two terab capacities and has got kind of this like honeycomb design that

00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:58.800
I'm sure you know someone at Seagate worked really hard on and then was like

00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:01.719
super upset when Seagate was like well we're going to do a more Premium One

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

00:01:03.559 --> 00:01:09.600
design this so you know Johnny from Johnny from industrial design you can

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:12.320
just kind of maybe take like a couple month leave of absence we're going to

00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:16.799
have someone else work on this one but the good news is that Porsche Design

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

00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:24.600
that beveled Edge thing going on which I guess if you're into the looks of

00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:30.040
products is kind of cool there's a relatively thin one and there's also

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

00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:38.560
you're all into like specs and megabytes and connectors then the real cool stuff

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

00:01:41.880 --> 00:01:49.680
these standards have gotten confusing 3.1 gen 1 so that's 5 gigabit that's

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

00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:57.280
make all of our heads explode so thanks for that there's also a desktop version

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

00:02:00.039 --> 00:02:05.600
3.1 gen one Etc and this one has

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

00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:13.760
charge your MacBook with it if you connect via that single connector that

00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:19.879
apple in their Infinite Wisdom put on the MacBook Retina which leads us to the

00:02:16.920 --> 00:02:23.200
one that makes me cry a little bit and there's different kinds of Tears

00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:28.200
associated with this as well although this is definitely the top tier product

00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:32.000
so they turned back to Neil pton to

00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:34.040
design this very mirror like what

00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:41.400
they're calling the Chom because that is how to achieve true

00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:43.440
pretentiousness to put an aent A on the

00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:49.440
end of a word that would have otherwise worked simply fine so the Chrome a is

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

00:02:51.720 --> 00:02:56.519
like looking enclosure size it's got

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

00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:05.120
freaking magnets right how do they work there you go so it's got this magnetic

00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:10.799
base that it like locks onto oh get

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

00:03:14.799 --> 00:03:21.200
whatever anyway 10 gigabit per second connectivity through a type-c connector

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

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

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

00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:41.480
c actually Seagate owns L I should have probably clarified that why does it have

00:03:39.239 --> 00:03:47.159
an SSD inside well my friends it's for performance this puppy is capable of 1

00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:49.840
Gigabyte per second read speeds over

00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:55.640
that typ c connector pretty freaking amazing right when can I sign up you

00:03:53.760 --> 00:03:59.640
probably won't unless you're the same type of customer that's heading over to

00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:04.680
the uh Sennheiser Booth to pre-order the $50,000 orus because this my friends is

00:04:02.519 --> 00:04:10.760
a $1,300 external hard drive except that

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

00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:19.440
these little details yes my friends it is not cheap but it is beautiful and the

00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:23.400
reality of it is is that while the the tears I cry over the performance are

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

00:04:25.320 --> 00:04:31.560
afford one what I do like about this is

00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:34.000
at at least seate through the ly brand

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

00:04:35.960 --> 00:04:42.720
going to price it like a premium product and sure you can still buy a plastic

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

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

00:04:49.039 --> 00:04:53.720
a big shot I know I would so thanks for
