Seagate launch 12GB 1″ harddrive

Seagate has expanded its series of mini-harddrives by launching a new 1″ series for handheld units, e.g. mobie phones and similar. The Seagate ST1.3 series is an improved version of Seagate’s current 1 series of mini-harddrives, ST1.3 has 23% less surface but 50% higher capacity and consumes 30% less power. Simply smaller and better than the previous. The storage capacity with ST1.3 is an impressive 12GB and the harddrive is expected to be used with portable units such as music players and mobile phones.

“The drive’s new size, 40x30x5 mm, allows for more streamlined media players product designs and fits nicely into current clamshell and candy-bar style mobile handsets.”
