<p><strong>From 9to5Toys (https://9to5toys.com/):</strong></p>
<p>In an attempt to simplify data backup, Seagate has announced the new Duet 1TB Hard Drive (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MDRMUAF/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=tjd14-20&amp;linkId=6541b226f5d69e7471774fe46c9dacca) that automatically syncs all of its contents to Amazon’s cloud service (https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/home?&amp;_encoding=UTF8&amp;tag=9to5toys05-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;linkId=e62ecc8060cffc403caed03696d93c31&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325). This partnership ensures that data is easily transferrable on-the-go while also taking the guesswork out of backing up your files. Setup is quite simple: plug the hard drive into your Mac or PC, sign into Amazon’s service and apply the included promotional code to claim your year’s worth of cloud storage (a $60 value).</p>
<p>Seagate Duet uses a typical mechanical 1TB hard drive, so you can’t expect lightning speeds here. But the ability to automatically backup your data to Amazon’s cloud with minimal fuss is certainly noteworthy. With news that Apple is potentially (https://9to5mac.com/2016/11/21/apple-reportedly-stops-developing-airport-wifi-router-products-moving-employees-to-other-projects/) leaving the router business, this has the potential to convert some Time Machine users in the long-term if all goes to plan. The Seagate Duet is available for pre-order on Amazon with a December 10th ship date for $99 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MDRMUAF/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=tjd14-20&amp;linkId=6541b226f5d69e7471774fe46c9dacca).</p>
