According to the International Data Corporation, the global datasphere
will increase tenfold to 175 zettabytes by 2025.
Just get your head around that for a minute - that's 175 trillion
gigabytes. That's a lot of data.
If you could put all of that onto Blu-ray discs you'd end up
with a stack of discs that could get you to the moon — 23 times.
This data boom is partly due to today's environment where
sensors are on all of the time. A self-driving car, for example, can create a
whopping 3TB of data every hour.
It's almost inconceivable that it is only 15 years ago that
the humble 1.4MB 3.5 inch Floppy was gracing our shelves.
Thankfully, we've come a long way since and so satisfying
the need for mass storage - and the desire to access is 24/7 from all manner of
devices - is becoming easier all the time.
When it comes to data storage, you'd be hard pushed to find
to find a better manufacturer than multi-award winning Seagate, who have
dominated the sector for four decades.
Seagate delivers world-class, precision-engineered internal
and external data solutions for all uses, including adding massive capacity for
gaming, whether on the Xbox, PlayStation or PC.
Here at Box we're delighted to be entering into an enhanced
partnership with Seagate which will see us stock the brand's full range.
