We weren't waiting on too many more details surrounding Seagate's 7mm thin laptop hard drive (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/seagates-7-mm-momentus-thin-2-5-inch-hard-disk-for-slim-high-c/), but one critical tidbit has just now been unearthed by the outfit itself. The Momentus Thin will make its official unveiling at CES here in just a few weeks, where it'll be available in 160GB and 250GB capacities and with 8MB of cache, a 5400RPM spin speed and a SATA 3Gbps interface. We're also told that it'll be far less expensive than similarly sized 1.8-inch HDD options, which means this bugger could soon be planted into Atom D410 / D510 (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/intels-atom-d510-d410-processors-get-benchmarked/)-based netbooks. The drive is slated to ship to OEM and integrator partners next month, though specific price points have yet to be mentioned. Have a peek at the first press shots below.
