Seagate Helps Preserve a Centuries-Old Chinese Art Form

Members of the Beijing Opera Theatre use several FreeAgent drives to store and share video while travelling.

Seagate is helping preserve an important part of China`s cultural heritage. The Beijing Opera Theatre is using Seagate`s line of FreeAgent external storage solutions to backup and protect thousands of hours of video, photos, scripts and recordings.

Beijing Opera (also known as Peking Opera) goes back more than two centuries, and combines music, singing, dance, mime and acrobatics. The Beijing Opera Theatre was formed in 1979 and is one of China`s foremost opera troupes.

Until recently, most of the early filmed performances and records of Beijing Opera had been stored in analogue format. Over the years, some of those recordings were damaged or lost altogether. One such treasure—the master recording of a 1905 Beijing Opera performance of “The Battle of Dingjunshan,  featuring the legendary actor Tan Xinpei was destroyed in a fire in 1940. That loss spurred efforts to digitize and protect other priceless works.

 “With the long history of Beijing Opera, we need a great deal of digital storage to help us preserve these beautiful classics, said Wang Yuzhen, president of the Beijing Opera Theatre. “The high capacity, reliability and security of Seagate`s FreeAgent drives are uniquely capable of meeting our needs.”

“Peking Opera is the essence of Chinese culture and among the most representative of Chinese traditional arts, said BanSeng Teh, Asia Pacific vice president and managing director at Seagate. “Seagate is privileged to help preserve this important heritage.”

Digital Treasure Trove

The Beijing Opera Theatre has amassed a historically rich collection of content, including more than 2,000 hours of video, over 4,000 hours of audio, more than 10,000 photos and 5,000-plus scripts and other written material. Now, using a variety of Seagate 1.5 TB FreeAgent Desk and FreeAgent XTreme drives, organizers of the Beijing Opera Theatre`s digital library have the confidence that their content is safe and secure for future generations to enjoy.

Both drives include easy-to-use software that helps keep data safe and private with automatic backup and encryption of important files and folders. And with its ultra-fast data transfer, the FreeAgent XTreme is ideal for accessing large video or photo files quickly and frequently.

In addition to using Seagate’s desktop backup products, the Beijing Opera Theatre also uses an array of FreeAgent Go portable drives to capture, transport and share video data while on tour. Weighing just a third of a pound (150 g), the FreeAgent Go combines roomy capacity (up to 640GB) with a compact, stylish design that makes it easy to store, sync and share files.

“The FreeAgent Go is easy to carry around and showcase the skills of our fellow performers,” said Mei Baojiu, one of China’s most distinguished Beijing Opera masters.

“With Seagate, I can store and review (operas) and learn from other performers to help improve my own skills,” said Du Zhenjie, another veteran artist with the Beijing Opera Theatre.

World First: Verbatim SSD Secure ExpressCard with premium AES 256-bit hardware encryption

Verbatim has launched an SSD Secure ExpressCard with premium AES 256-bit hardware encryption, combining innovative, solid-state drive storage technology with powerful security protection. The SSD Secure ExpressCard, the first of its kind in the world, is available in 32GB and 16GB.

Premium AES 256-bit hardware encryption

Mandatory complex password input

Content of the drive automatically deleted after 10 incorrect password entries

The SSD Card can be completely inserted into the internal ExpressCard slot

Low power consumption – longer battery life for laptops and netbooks

Sturdy and shock resistant

Compatible with Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7

The demand for mobile storage solutions that satisfy strict security standards has grown significantly in recent months.  Verbatim’s pioneering SSD Secure ExpressCard with premium AES 256-bit hardware encryption guarantees maximum security for stored data. The hardware-based encryption with mandatory complex password input protects the stored data even if the SSD should fall into the wrong hands, with the disk auto-formatting after 10 incorrect password entries deleting all the content on the drive, further increasing the security of the drive.  Another new feature is the option of assigning guest passwords, enabling all or some of the data memory accessible to others.

The solid-state drive is extremely sturdy and resistant to shocks and vibrations, making it the perfect high-capacity portable storage device.  Another key advantage of SSD storage is its low power consumption, resulting in significantly longer battery life for laptops and netbooks.  Thanks to plug and play compatibility, the SSD Secure ExpressCard is immediately ready for use, avoiding the need for prior software installation or having to secure administrator rights.  It is also possible to use the ExpressCard as a permanent extension to the memory on netbooks and laptops, since it can be inserted completely into the internal ExpressCard slot.

“We have seen significant growth in the SSD market in recent months.  Verbatim is seizing this opportunity and has expanded its SSD ExpressCard range to include a hardware encrypted version: The SSD Secure ExpressCard.  Our aim is to address the rapidly growing demand for secure portable storage solutions head-on with innovative products that come with the security aspect already integrated,” explains Hans-Christoph Kaiser, Business Development Manager Verbatim EUMEA.

Verbatim’s SSD Secure ExpressCards can be inserted into the computer’s PCI ExpressCard slot, which is a standard feature of modern laptops. The cards are compatible with Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7, and will soon be available in stores with capacities of 32GB and 16GB.
