Seagate Momentus
100gb 5400.2
Well Seagate is
pushing it's way ahead of the pack again. New in the Momentus 2.5"
line of mini hard drives is the Momentus 100gb 5400.2. Yes you read
correctly 100 gigs of laptop storage. Seagate has continued it's
tradition of high speed with a low power consumption, but
will this massive storehouse live up to the expectation? I'm
betting it will since it's little brother, the 40gb racked up the awards
last year. The 2.5" Momentus is a 100gb hard drive running at 5400
RPM with a sweet 8mb cache, which you normally only see on desktop hard
drives. For years notebook computers have suffered with low storage
capability, but Seagate is changing all that. Let's see how this KILLER stacks up!
Key
Benefits (by Seagate)
Innovative
The new Seagate Momentus 5400.2 drive
offers a huge 100GB capacity in a 2.5-inch form factor, and enhanced
productivity with its 5,400-rpm spin speed for almost 50 percent more
performance than 4,200-rpm drives - yet it lets users work longer with
battery consumption like a traditional 4,200-rpm notebook drive. With
high resistance to 800Gs of non-operating shock, its robust design and
high shock tolerance enable mobility in rugged notebook operating
environments.
Whisper
Quiet & Rugged
With Seagate's unique G-Force Protection, these
new Momentus hard drives also perform better during operation than
competitive drives when subjected to high levels of shock, and when
vibration occurs in multi-drive environments such as entry-level server
applications. And Seagate's unique QuietStep ramp load technology
enables whisper-quiet load/unload acoustics.
