Leaked details, if proven accurate, seem to indicate that the Seagate’s promised 7mm hard drive could have a relatively limited capacity. The line would be called the Momentus Thin and would have capacities up to 250GB, offering a 160GB model for those who are concerned about the price. The drives would in any case spin at 5,400rpm, which is typical for notebook 9.5mm or 12mm tall drives.

Both of the drives, that are SATA II-capable, will be unveiled at CES in early January next year. There is still no information available on whether or not the drives will ship immediately or maybe later. Seagate has officially claimed that the 7mm hard drives are meant for use in extra-thin notebooks that previously had no alternative but to use either lower capacity drives or solid-state drives which are much more expensive.
