“With Seagate’s lightweight, reliable GoFlex ultra-portable drives for storing, transferring, and backing up my work, I have the peace of mind that my photos and videos are protected and accessible.” — Jim
Jim works with both still and moving images, and says: “When a photographer/film maker is pushing the limits to create dramatic images and video, challenges arise that did not exist when using analog formats. Ensuring that the external storage can keep up with the speed and file sizes required by today’s high-end cameras and computers becomes a crucial component in making the entire imaging workflow process go smoothly. Most professional DSLR also shoot video, which creates greater demand on the drive to keep up with the processing power of camera and computer.”
