Seagate 250 GB Momentus 5400.5 SATA Notebook Hard Disk Drive Review

[Dashken]

The Momentus 5400.45 is Seagate's third notebook hard drive to feature perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology. By magnetizing the data bits perpendicularly to the plane of the platter, it allows a higher areal density than what was previously possible with the traditional method of longitudinal recording.

By increasing the areal density, Seagate was able to greatly improve the transfer rate and performance of the Momentus 5400.5. The Seagate Momentus 5400.5 also boasts the following features :

- 8-MB cache delivers fast performance.
- Robust design and high shock tolerance enable mobility in rugged notebook operating environments.
- 1000 Gs of nonoperating shock make the drive ideal for notebook PCs and industrial applications.
- Utilizes ramp load features that remove the head from the disk during idle periods, improving idle power consumption and adding to the durability of the drive
- QuietStep™ technology enables ultra-quiet load/unload acoustics.
- SATA 3Gb/s interface with Native Command Queuing

Let's find out just how fast the Seagate Momentus 5400.5 goes!
