Laptop hard drives have to be small. The form factor dictates it. Now Seagate pushes the envelope with a 7mm drive – shaving around 2.5mm off of the thickness of the drive. What’s next, paper thin?
Though it does spin at 5400rpm, it does maintain very good storage ratios. It comes in 250GB and 160GB versions. It also support SATA connections and even the SATA 3 protocol. All this means very good bandwidth in a small package. The 250GB version will cost $55 when it comes out in January.
Thin is in.
