Seagate Technology says its Samsung HDD division is shipping the new 2.5-inch Spinpoint M9T. At 9.5 mm thin, the company says it’s the world’s thinnest 2TB hard drive.

Offered in capacities of 1.5TB and 2TB, the Spinpoint M9T mobile drive gives OEMs [original equipment manufacturers], channel system integrators and consumers a thin, high-capacity storage solution ideal for external storage, notebook integration and upgrades, desktop, and gaming system applications, according to Dave Frankovich, senior product line manager, Samsung HDD. The Spinpoint M9T includes a SATA 6Gb/s interface and microactuation to ensure fast, consistent hard drive performance, along with NoiseGuard and SilentSeek technologies to deliver ultra-quiet operation, he adds.

The hard drive is currently available in the Samsung Portable product line, which includes the M3 Portable and P3 Portable external drives, as well as with select partners. Learn more at http://samsunghdd.seagate.com .
