Seagate have announced that they will be delivering hard disk drive storage for the ARCHOS G9 8-inch and 10-inch tablets. These will be the first tablets to have hard disk drives. This HDD featured in these tablets is the Seagate Momentus Thin which Seagate claims is a speedy notebook drive with a super-slim 7mm profile. The company claims that the performance and capacity of the Momentus Thin drive are the perfect complement for the cutting-edge speed of the ARCHOS G9 family of tablets that features the dual-core 1.5 GHz processor. They go on to state that the strength of the Momentus Thin drive gives users 250GB of capacity which is eight times more than a standard 32GB tablet but at the same cost thus making the ARCHOS G9 one of the tablet industry’s best cost-performance values.
