Seagate have announced that they have developed a new thin hard disk drive.
There are a tablet that will have these news drive are the  Archos G9 8” and 10” tablets that will feature Seagate’s new thin Momentus hard drive with a profile of7mm!
The Momentus thin drive comes in different variations including, 160GB, 250GB and 320GB with either 7200RPM or 5400RPM, including 16MB of cache.
As an option it can have the FIPS 140-2 U.S government-grade encryption to protect all of the hard disk drive data.
It is a great achievement for Seagate to be the first to launch this kind of product, but in my opinion I don’t think it is a reliable solution for tablets, since they get “moved” around a bit more than a regular laptop and are more fragile.
Either way, the future is Solid State, and I think that’s what hard drive companies should focus even more on, and I don’t think that many people who own a tablet could even use near 320GB of storage!
I even doubt that there are any have used all of the 64GB that some of the Apple iPad comes with.
