14 DAY TRIAL // Seagate has formally launched a hard disk drive that takes the 2.5-inch form factor to the next level in terms of compactness: the Spinpoint M9T.
Spinpoint M9T is the newest mobile HDD from Seagate, or rather the HDD division it bought from Samsung a while ago.
The drive should serve notebooks, ultrabooks and external storage solutions (like drive cages) most, seeing as how it's 9.5 mm thin and all. Desktops won't have any issue using them though, unless your case lacks 2.5-inch bays or 3.5- to 2.5-inch converters.
In fact, Seagate says this is the world's thinnest 2 TB drive ever (that's right, that's the capacity of this thing).
A 1.5TB version is available too, but the 2TB one is the real news.
As one might guess, the 6 Gbps SATA III interface is implemented. Sadly, the price was left undisclosed in the press release.
