Want to cut down on the size and weight of your photo storage system when shooting on the go? You may want to check out the new Seagate Seven external hard drive. It’s the world’s thinnest — and arguably most beautiful — external hard drive.
The Seven gets its name from the fact that it is just 7mm thick, which is thinner than some smartphones on the market today. It also measures 3 inches wide by 4.47-inches long.
Inside is a 5mm drive that can hold 500 gigabytes of data and uses USB 3.0 for transfers.
Instead of a bulky enclosure, the hard drive uses a sleek, all-stainless-steel design that allows for a slim form factor without compromising on strength and ruggedness.
The Seagate Seven will be available in mid-to-late January 2015 with a price tag of $100. Look for it at an electronics retailer near you (or on the Web).
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
