7 millimeters. That's the height of Seagate's newest ultra-thin netbook hard drives that they'll be revealing next month at CES 2010. At this height, Seagate's hard drives would take up 25% less volume than other netbook drives that are currently in production, which may allow netbook manufacturers to make even smaller netbooks in the future.
The capacity of Seagate's new ultra-thin netbook hard drives is currently unknown, but the drives are rumored to be part of the Momentus Thin Series of hard drives. Price points are also currently unknown, as while the price of the drives is rumored to be relatively lower than that of standard hard drives, because they're ultra-thin, netbook makers could also jack up the final retail price of their netbooks.
