Seagate Launches First USB-Powered Desktop Hard Drive
 

[IMG]http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2016/03/Seagate-In**v8.jpg[/IMG]Seagate today an**unced the launch of the In**v8, which it claims to be the world's first desktop-class external hard drive that does **t need to be plugged into a power outlet. The HDD is compatible with the Retina MacBook and other USB-C **tebooks.

In**v8 is an 8TB hard drive powered by a single USB-C cable, eliminating the need for a dedicated power source or adapter. The achievement was possible through USB 3.1 advancements and Seagate's new Ignition Boost Tech**logy.

Seagate was the recipient of a 2016 Red Dot design award for the In**v8, which features an aluminum enclosure that can be placed horizontally or vertically on a desk.

In**v8 will be available in April for $349 through Seagate, Amazon, and select resellers. 200GB of free Microsoft OneDrive cloud storage is included.
