At long last, Seagate has officially entered the SSD drive market with the introduction of its first 2.5-inch Pulsar SSD, billed as the "first true enterprise-class SSD," and featuring up to 200GB capacity and what the company calls single-level cell (SLC) technology which supposedly make it ideal for enterprise blade and general server applications.
The 2.5-inch Seagate Pulsar SSD supports the tried and tested SATA interface and will probably come bundled with upcoming pre-built desktops and laptops early next year. Pricing for standalone units have not yet been revealed, though knowing Seagate, you can expect these to be very competitive.
Meanwhile, for ultra-thin laptops in the near future, Seagate is planning to launch a new series of hard disk drives called Momentus Thin, which stand at just 7mm thin (compared to the current standard of 9.5mm to 12.5mm). This will allow OEM laptop makers to make even thinner laptops than those that are already available in the market. People obsessed with saving as much space as possible will surely appreciate this.
