Seagate on Monday launched a 500 GB Seagate Ultra Mobile hard drive designed for tablets. This new drive brings 7 times the storage capacity of a 64GB device and delivers the same performance as a Flash drive. The new 2.5-inch drive is 5 mm thin and weighs 3.3 ounces. As for capacity, the drive has 500GB space, which is enough for 1,00,000 photos and 1,25,000 songs. Some of the other specs on the drive include a SATA 6GB/s interface, 16MB cache and spin speed of 5400RPM.
The Seagate Ultra Mobile hard drive is optimized for tablet use and are able to manage shock, heat, vibration and gyroscopic motion. Also this drive will let users save data on the external hard drive using the company’s Mobile Enablement Kit which comes with its Dynamic Data Driver software tech. The idea is that Android tablet manufacturers will use the Seagate drive, along with the company’s Mobile Enablement Kit and caching software, to up the storage. The Mobile Enablement Kit includes a dynamic data driver and reference designs that would lower tablet costs since hard drives are cheaper than solid state versions.
