Seagate has announced today that it will cease production of 7200RPM mobile hard drives later this year.
The company will continue to offer slower 5400RPM drives for "value" notebooks and will also continue creating its solid-state hybrid drives (SSHDs).
"We are going stop building our notebook 7200rpm hard disk drives at the end of 2013," added David Burks, director of marketing and product management at Seagate Technology.
Although the company is ceasing production, the company says there will be sufficient inventory for customers who still require such drives for the time being.
