Seagate Technology announced a range of new mobile storage products — including a cloth-covered Backup Plus Ultra drive — based on its Seagate and LaCie brands at CES 2019, the big tech trade show in Las Vegas this week.

These backup drives from Seagate and its LaCie brand allow you to carry five terabytes — or the amount of data that the Library of Congress adds in a month — in the palm of your hand. The products include LaCie Mobile Drive, LaCie Mobile SSD (solid state drive), Seagate Backup Plus hard disk drives, FireCuda 510, BarraCuda 510 internal SSDs, and IronWolf 110 NAS SSDs.
