Seagate has purpose-built the Laptop Thin HDD to meet the customers' demand for affordable, slimmer, fully functional computing solutions.
Smooth migration to advanced format 4K
Laptop Thin HDDs include Seagate SmartAlign technology. This innovation provides easy access to all the benefits of the Advanced Format 4K sector standard - no utilities, no extra steps. AF drive migration happens automatically in the background. The drive's performance is not affected, and there is no need for the time-consuming utilities that are required by other AF-enabled drives.
Enter Seagate ingenuity
Seagate Laptop Thin HDD drives leverage current laptop drives in both material and product design to provide the world's first 7 mm 2.5-inch form factor drive. The result is affordable, thin storage for entry-level to mainstream laptops, high-end netbooks, thin ultraportables and slim-computing devices.
