“We have seen an exponential rise in the amount of data created and as such, it has become central to industries such as M&E. From shooting on set through to post-production, the transferring, storing and accessing of data is a pivotal part of the creative workflow. At Seagate, we’re constantly looking to deliver storage solutions that allow people to unlock their full creative potential, and create truly memorable content,” said Tim Bucher, senior vice president of Seagate.

LaCie has also launched Collective, an online community bringing together creative professionals to share ideas, experiences, create content, and hone their skills by collaborating with like-minded individuals and industry experts.
