Well-known data storage company Seagate has announced three interesting new products at CES in Las Vegas.

seagate-wireless-hdThe first product is the 500GB Seagate Wireless portable hard drive, which is designed specifically for use with smartphones and tablets like Apple’s iPhone and iPad. The wireless portable hard drive is a great way to add additional storage to your device at a reasonable price.

The device offers a nine hour battery life and the ability to store photos and videos, which can be streamed directly through the Seagate Media app. The hard drive can also be used as an automatic backup, which makes a secondary copy of all the media stored on your iPhone or iPad. The device features built-in Wi-Fi, so it does not rely on any existing network connection.

The portable hard drive will be available this month for $129.99 from Seagate and through other retailers like Amazon. The device will be available in five colours, including lime green, cool blue, slate grey, fire-engine red, and white.

The Seagate Personal Cloud will be available in 3TB, 4TB, and 5TB capacities starting this month with a starting price of $169.
