Seagate to power Lenovo’s Yoga 2 PC

 Redefining the laptop and tablet space, Seagate Technology has announced that it is working with Lenovo to deliver a new multimode PC, Yoga 2 powered by the Seagate Laptop Ultrathin HDD. Both companies will demo the Yoga 2 multimode PC at CES 2014 in Las Vegas.
 
Scott Horn, Vice-President – Marketing, Seagate, stated, “Seagate has had an ongoing strategic alliance with Lenovo for many years. By delivering the technology that enables their Yoga 2 with the Laptop Ultrathin HDD, we have succeeded in delivering a high-capacity, lightweight laptop that addresses the needs of consumers and commercial users. This new drive enables consumers to enjoy PC-like storage capacity in a thin and light Ultrabook design.”
 
Delivering similar power, performance and reliability to what was originally a SSD only device, the Laptop Ultrathin HDD provides up to 500GB of storage capacity at a fraction of the cost.
 
“Besides SSD, now we can offer more storage options for our customers with Seagate’s ultra-thin, high-capacity HDD. We have extensive collaboration with Seagate across our laptop, desktop, all-in-one and servers, helping deliver innovative products with extreme performance and reliability,” said Wentao Yang, Global Procurement VP of Lenovo.
 
The 500GB HDD delivers the highest-capacity available in a small, ultra-thin form-factor while supporting over 100,000 photos, 125,000 songs or 62 hours of high-definition video and movies.
