Inside the 7mm enclosure is a 500GB 5mm HDD, which the company says has an industrial design. The enclosure surrounding it has been cut from 100% stainless steel using a “deep draw manufacturing process” which allows it to be tough and thin. The drive comes with USB 3.0 support offering high speed transfers and Seagate are giving away a braided USB cable in the price tag. There is also the Dashboard software of Seagate preloaded allowing consumers to be able to configure digital protection along with backing up their content.

While the Seagate Seven is a premium design the price tag doesn't really reflect what you'd expect.; release price of the drive is $99.99.
