Sony Announces the World's Slimmest 1TB HDD

Sony has announced the sleek and elegant HD-S1A, the world’s slimmest 1TB Portable HDD currently available in the market. 

Weighing just just 155g and measuring at only 8.7mm thin and its premium, high quality and durable design, the HD-S1A is the perfect companion for the polished executive who needs a storage device on-the-go.

The external HDD provides high usability and security thanks to a host of smart utility software packed into its diminutive size. Password Protection Manager will ensure that your data is protected should the device fall in the wrong hands, while Backup Manager automatically backs up the data stored in your PC, and is capable of selective backup of modified or added data. Lastly, Data Transfer Accelerator enables faster data transfer from the PC by reducing transfer time by half via the USB 3.0 cable.

The new 1TB Slim HDD HD-S1A, in both black and silver colours, will be available at all Sony Stores and Sony Centre from July 2014 at the recommended retail price of S$159.
