CNET<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Seagate Momentus Thin is the first 7mm standard hard drive that offers up to 320GB of storage space and spins at 7,200rpm.” width=”270″ height=”147″ \/>The Seagate Momentus Thin is the first 7mm standard hard drive that offers up to 320GB of storage space and spins at 7,200rpm.<\/p>\n

And the main reason why tablets don’t use hard-disk drives (HDDs) is the physical size: HDDs are generally not compact enough for the portability of a tablet computer. That is, unless, that HDD is Seagate Technology’s\u00a0Momentus Thin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The company announced today that this hard drive, which is the world’s first 2.5-inch hard drive with a 7mm profile, is now also the internal storage unit for the first HDD-based handheld tablets in the world, the 8- and 10-inch Archos G9 tablets. The new tablets, unveiled today, are among the first low-cost high-capacity tablets on the market.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There’s a reason why Apple internally hates the iPod classic. HDDs fail a lot in MP3 players. The iPod classic failure rate is the highest of any other iPod (even the touch with its gigantic glass face).<\/p>\n
