Seagate to announce new ultra-thin drives at CES
Currently drives are either 9.5 millimeters for a laptop, or 12.5 millimeters in the more traditional desktop drive. The thicker drives normally come in larger capacities, because they allow for more platters. Seagate has been working on improvements in magnetic storage techniques, which has reduced the need for multiple platters.
Seagate has been mum about the capacities that the new drives will come in, as well as keeping the pricing quiet. The official announcement is expected to come on January 5th.
