Singpoare \u2014 <\/strong>November 10, 2010 \u2014<\/strong>Seagate <\/strong>(NASDAQ: STX), the worldwide leader in hard drives and storage solutions, today announced that it has been named an International CES Innovations 2011 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree for its FreeAgent\u00ae<\/sup> GoFlex\u2122 family of external hard drives and the Momentus\u00ae<\/sup> XT solid state hybrid laptop hard drive. Products entered in this prestigious program are judged by a preeminent panel of independent industrial designers, engineers and members of the media to honor outstanding design and engineering in cutting edge consumer electronics products across 35 product categories.<\/p>\n

The GoFlex\u2122 storage system includes easy, plug-and-play portable and desktop drives, with an array of interchangeable cables and desktop adapters that deliver ultimate flexibility in how people collect, protect, share and enjoy their digital memories. In addition to various cable adapters, GoFlex\u2122 drives work with accessories such as the GoFlex\u2122 Net media sharing device and the GoFlex\u2122 TV HD media player, that provide the flexibility to enjoy your content on a TV, a network, using a mobile device, or via the Internet.<\/p>\n

Additionally, each GoFlex drive includes technology that enables storage and access of files from both Windows\u00ae<\/sup> and Mac computers. With capacities ranging from 320GB to 3TB, GoFlex ultra-portable and desktop drives group high-capacity, adaptability and ease-of-use with all the backup and protection people have come to expect from Seagate.<\/p>\n

The Momentus XT drive is the world\u2019s fastest 2.5-inch laptop PC hard drive, combining SSD-like performance with the massive capacity and much lower cost of HDDs. The Momentus XT drive features Adaptive Memory\u2122 technology \u2013 a groundbreaking new technology from Seagate that learns and optimizes the drive\u2019s performance to each user by moving frequently used information into the flash memory for faster access. The Momentus XT solid state hybrid drive boots up to 100 percent faster than traditional 5400RPM drives, the mainstream spin speed for laptop PCs, and sets new benchmarks for real-world system performance for laptops and gaming systems. The drive is available in capacities of up to 500GB.<\/p>\n

The prestigious Innovations Design and Engineering Awards have been recognizing achievements in product design and engineering since 1976. It is sponsored by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)\u00ae<\/sup>, the producer of the International CES, the world\u2019s largest consumer technology tradeshow.<\/p>\n
