In addition, a software upgrade that will provide secure remote access and file sharing for existing Maxtor Shared Storage II network drives was displayed, called Central Axis Technology.
According to Seagate, which owns Maxtor, there is a growing demand for digital content storage solutions due to increased use of digital cameras, MP3 players and digital videos.
"Consumers are creating and sharing more digital content than ever, and in fact, Americans alone watched 100 billion web videos this year. Content is everywhere, which is fueling the need for more storage everywhere," said Seagate CEO, Bill Watkins, at the CES event.
