Seagate Shipping Maxtor Fusion Products
Seagate Technology introduced the new Maxtor Fusion personal media solution. It includes a simple, yet powerful interface and a rich web application, licensed from software maker Fabrik, that makes it easy and fast to organize, retrieve, access, blend and assemble all types of multimedia content for sharing personal experiences, events and memories with others over the web, either privately or publicly in a secure manner.
The Maxtor Fusion solution provides a high-speed Gigabit Ethernet network port and a half-terabyte (500GB) of networked storage that can be accessed from anywhere via the web. The new Maxtor Fusion solution from Seagate is being launched June 15 at J&R Music and Computer World's flagship store in New York City during their Summer Festival where a live product demo will be available.
With the Maxtor Fusion solution from Seagate, users can create "microshares" to share multimedia content with small, select circles of people in a safe and secure way, or they can create "microlinks" to link personally-selected content to blog sites or online auction and social sites like eBay or MySpace. For those with content that they wish to boast to the world, the Public Site feature enables quick and easy creation of a personal web page made up of pictures, video clips, music and even documents that you select.
As an alternative to the Maxtor Fusion personal media solution, Seagate will be bundling an online service with its Maxtor-branded solutions including the Maxtor OneTouch and Maxtor Shared Storage product families. Instead of using a physical solution connected to your home network, multimedia content is uploaded to a secure online site giving you the same multimedia experience and flexibility. As part of the bundled promotion, the online service will be free for an extended period of time with an option to renew to a yearly multi-level subscription service. The promotional bundle, terms and pricing will be available this summer.
The Maxtor Fusion personal media solution from Seagate is available now at J&R Music and Computer World's flagship store in New York City, and online at www.jr.com. Manufacturer's suggested retail price is $799 for 500GB. The Maxtor Fusion solution will start shipping to additional retailers in the U.S. this summer.
