Seagate has announced the launch of the world’s thinnest portable hard drive, called, simply, Seven. The Seven stands for, yes, you guessed it, the thickness of the drive, which measures just 7 mm. And it’s a work of art!
Although the company has previously released hard drives of the same thickness, including the Momentus Thin and Laptop Ultrathin HDDs, these are bare 2.5-inch drives destined for the insides of computers and other devices. In comparison, the Seagate Seven packs a 500 GB hard drive measuring 5 mm thick inside a stainless steel enclosure weighing just 90 grams.
The Seagate Seven features a USB 3.0 interface and comes with an 18-in (46 cm) braided nylon USB cable, which also supplies power to the device. The drive will be available in the US by the end of January, with other markets to follow. Pricing is yet to be announced.
