SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif.—03 January 2006— At the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show, Seagate Technology (NYSE:STX) is introducing innovative consumer products that add exciting benefits and functionality to already proven Seagate consumer product lines. The Seagate Portable Hard Drive will boost storage capacity to 160GB, which is 30% over the current standard while maintaining the same compact footprint. For data-intensive applications such as video editing or massive data transfers, the Seagate Pushbutton Backup Hard Drive now backs up and transfers data five times faster than existing storage devices, by taking 3Gb/s Serial ATA out of the box.

"Our storage innovations are driving the infusion of exciting new capabilities into applications of all kinds, from the home to the office to the road and beyond," said Jim Druckrey, general manager, Branded Solutions. "We design and deliver products that will help consumers make the most of their active digital lifesyles, whether they are at work, play, for entertainment or learning."

The new portable hard drive provides 30% more capacity than comparably sized drives.

The 160GB Portable External Hard Drive enables users to carry a massive array of business files, digital music, digital photos, digital videos and games in a package that weighs less than one pound.
