The drive’s waif-ish profile is the result of new recording technology that Seagate is bringing to the portable-drive market named shingled magnetic recording (SMR), which overlays bits of data on top of one another like roof tiles. The drive measures just 9.6mm thick, making it the thinnest external drive of this capacity that we’ve tested and the thinnest 2TB hard drive on the market. It’s a traditional hard drive complete with spinning platters, read/write heads, the works. The drive is so thin and light that, when we first took it out of the box, we thought for a moment that it must house an SSD inside. The Backup Plus Ultra Slim drive we received for testing is new for 2016 and came in a 2TB capacity.
