Death of Desktop Computers? Seagate Technology

Over the past decade there's been an extreme decrease of Desktop computers in society. The development of cell phones, laptops, and tablets etc... Are the reasons behind the decline. However you still find most businesses and corporations using desktop, because of the amount of storage they can hold. This may change with the release of Seagate's desktop USB Hard Drive will decrease the need for the traditional technology, because of its physical convenience and cost efficiency. 

"Keeping the number of power cords dangling off your desk to a minimum usually means settling for a smaller capacity backup drive that draws all the power it needs from a single USB cable. Seagate’s new Innov8 drive packs 8TB of storage into an external closure that doesn’t need to draw power from an outlet.

Available sometime next month for $350, the Innov8 relies only on a USB-C connection to your computer to work. There’s no need to make room on an already crowded power strip for yet another massive wall wart. It’s not just a convenient space saver—it makes the drive far more portable since you can use it without having to first find an available power outlet.

Not that it matters too much, but the drive’s enclosure is also easy on the eyes. It looks futuristic and industrial like something you’d yank out of a defeated Terminator while you’re trying to find out what Skynet’s evil plans are." Andrew Liszewski
