Seagate has used their latest drive technologies and manufacturing processes to create the “world’s thinnest” external hard drive. The company’s deep draw process allows for the all steel enclosure to be shaped in a method that the material could not be any thinner while still holding the structural integrity required for an external portable storage device. In addition, the steel encasing offers a rigidity, which allows for the ultra-thin design to be functional. The low profile motor technologies used in the bare drive are designed to include extreme Gyro handling capabilities so that it can work well within tablets and thin computing.
The 500GB Seagate Seven is available this month with an MSRP of $99.99.
