Seagate Launches Fast SSDs With Up To 540MB/s Read-Write Speeds; Goes on Sale on Amazon Prime Day
Jul. 12, 2018While the 250GB variant will be available for Rs. 8,990, the 500GB model will be on sale for Rs. 10,990 as part of an introductory offer that will be valid for a one month period starting July 16. They will come with MRPs of Rs. Rs 10,500 and Rs 18,000, respectively.
In its press statement announcing the launch, Seagate claimed a maximum sequential read/write speed up to 540/500 MB/s for its latest drives, although, the numbers, as usual, are likely to be much lower in the real world. The company also said that the drives are lightweight, ultra-portable and shock-resistant. The drives also come with a fully-reversible USB-C cable and a Type-C to Type-A converter for compatibility with legacy devices.
The drives come with a syncing software that allows users to mirror their files and projects. According to the company,“Users can have a designated folder monitored, so the Fast SSD will automatically keep up with the latest changes to their files”. There’s also a formatting tool to optimize the drive for max performance, or cross-OS compatibility.
