Seagate and DJI partner to release drone-friendly drive

What makes a storage drive drone-friendly? For one, it comes with a microSD slot. That's what Seagate and DJI are bringing in the Seagate DJI Fly Drive. It has a capacity of up to 2TB and makes it easier to transfer footage from drones with the built-in card slot. The drive can store up to 60 hours of 4K content. The Fly Drive can take a bit of abuse since it comes built with shock-resistant bumper, which is used to house a built-in USB-C cable that has support for both USB 3.1 and Thunderbolt 3. The drive will cost US$119.99 and Seagate and DJI are throwing in a two-month complimentary access to Adobe Premiere Pro CC, which has around a US$20 value.

Seagate outs external SSD for the Xbox

Since the Xbox One can’t swap out hard drives, Seagate thought of the next best thing to help gamers out: an external solid-state drive for the console. Coming in a black and green enclosure and bearing the Xbox logo, you won’t mistake it for anything other than an accessory for the Xbox One. The Game Drive for Xbox SSD comes with 512GB capacity that should offer faster install and load performance than the stock 5400rpm hard drive in the Xbox. If having a matching HD for your console is something you want, it’ll set you back US$199.99 (around CA$260).
