14 DAY TRIAL // NAND Flash memory may be faster than HDDs, but tablets rarely have to worry about speed, and NAND chips also don't allow for more than 64 GB to be easily installed, or in a cost-affordable way. Seagate now has the answer.
That's what it claims anyway. It has introduced the Laptop Ultrathin HDD and Seagate Ultra Mobile HDD.
Both of them come in up to 500 GB and are so light that you're bound to have trouble believing they are still 2.5-inch drives (as light as a light bulb, 5 mm thick).
The Seagate Ultra Mobile weighs as much as a light bulb and runs on 0.14W in sleep/standby.
There's a pretty good case to make in order to believe that the HDDs are the same one under different names. However, the Seagate Ultra Mobile has a Zero Gravity Sensor (shock resistance in case you drop your tablet) and can, apparently, come in less than 500 GB, unlike the other one.
