“Over the next eight years, the capacity shipped into the cloud will double and by 2020 personal and enterprise clouds will account for greater than 60 percent of the total storage capacity shipped. With this huge shift of capacity to the cloud, storage providers will need to deploy more storage quickly all while increasing capacity and lowering energy costs,” said Scott Horn, Seagate Vice President of Marketing. “Engineered with this mind, these new drives deliver on all fronts providing high capacity-to-power ratios and ensuring consistent performance at an affordable cost—making them an ideal solution for the cloud.” Horn, concluded.
The Seagate Terascale HDD retails for PHP 13,399.00 and is available at the Seagate Concept Stores in SM Megamall, SM North EDSA, and authorized retailers and resellers nationwide.
