The bare steel case is almost shrink-wrapped around the internal spinner, and this very industrial style is unlike anything else in terms of funky coolness. Not a soul in the office was able to resist picking it up and having a feel. It really is quite...

If you buy a portable hard drive, you want it to be portable, right? And that means thinner and lighter is always better. To that end, the Seagate Seven is the world's thinnest external hard drive — and yep, it's barely 7mm thick.

The metal styling of the Seagate Seven gives this portable, 2.5in hard drive an interesting look and feel compared to most other drives. It's not just a regular rectangle. Instead it has a somewhat sculpted design that is made to look like a bare...

The Seagate Seven is a hard disk drive fit for a spy. It's svelte and beautiful but neither spacious nor blindingly fast. Surely someone will come up with an SSD model that's even...

l, I am thoroughly impressed with this product and highly recommend it to anyone who has huge files that they use on a regular basis. Although it is a little bigger, and weighs more, it feels smaller because of how thin it is, and still weighs less than...

At £123, or just under 25p per gigabyte, the Seagate Seven is currently priced rather expensively for its 500GB capacity. It does offer something quite different in industrial design though, and providing it's not jostled too much while powered up should...

In most of our tests, the Seagate Seven was a little slower than a standard hard disk drive of the same capacity connected to an USB 3.0 port. In short, the Seven did not perform exceptionally, but it was not slow at all, for a portable external hard...

The Seagate Seven is pretty. Really pretty in a genuinely standout design sense.Shiny. So shiny.That's not enough, or at least I'd strongly argue it shouldn't be.Its size limits its capacity to 500GB, and the chances are good that if in 2015 you need an...

Comparing it to the rest of Seagate's offerings, the Seven is not one of Seagate's faster drives. It's not meant to compete with the faster drives – but to be a portable, attractive and affordable backup solution. That said, you need to think of the...

Seagate Seven is an unconventional form factor as far as external hard drives go. That Seagate has managed to fit in a 5mm thin internal drive to make the entire Seven package measure only 7mm thick is indeed commendable. And that is the only thing to...
