Who woulda thought!? Hard drives getting smaller? and thinner? Absolutely unheard of. Things (we) usually get fatter and uglier over time, not thinner and sleeker. Leave it to Seagate to shake up the universal trend and leave us inspired with a cool, compact design of technology.

You saw it at CES. Now, Seagate has announced that the ‘World’s slimmest, portable external hard drive’ is available. Perhaps the coolest thing about this drive – it has 320GB running at 7200rpm through a USB3.0 socket. Take a look…

Of particular interest for some:

The GoFlex Slim portable drive also allows for use between Windows and Mac® computers, interchangeably, without formatting or performance loss.

You can get all the details, specs and links to online retailers here. Currently the only place I’ve found it, is at Amazon for listed retail of $99
