It’s quite rare that a new piece of hardware breaks any positive record and it also promises to substantially lower the production costs. Fortunately, the Seagate Momentus hard drives are such pieces of hardware.
The Seagate Momentus Thin are the thinnest (wow) drives that you’ve ever laid you eyes on. Measuring only 7mm in height, the Seagate Momentus Thin is 25% slimmer than the 2.5’’, 9.5mm drive laptops and netbooks are currently using. And the 160GB or 250GB (depending on the model) make sure that you don’t have to sacrifice storage space. And the best thing is that the Seagate Momentus Thin drives will be the cheapest around. It’s only obvious that an increase in storage space will be noticed in a segment where this was a problem: netbooks and entry-level laptops.
This Seagate Hard Drive Will Be Thin And Cheap. We Already Love It !
Both Seagate Momentus Thin hard drives feature 8MB of cache, 5400 rotations per minute (RPM) and a SATA 3Gbps interface, so you keep the speed but get a smaller and a cheaper hard drive. These are the kind of news we like bringing you folks. The actual price was not yet uncovered, but we’ll get back to you on that one as soon as possible.
