Seagate Momentus 5400.7 Hard Drives
Durable Mobility Anywhere, Anytime - With fourth-generation perpendicular magnetic recording technology and capacities up to 640 GB, the Seagate Momentus 5400.7 drive offers the best combination of performance, capacity, mobility and durability in a laptop hard drive. The Momentus 5400.7 drive offers a fast SATA 3Gb/s interface plus an 8-MB cache, making the drive ideal for mainstream laptops, workstations, gaming laptops and personal external storage.
G-Force Protection - When a laptop is dropped, the most catastrophic damage to the hard drive occurs when the head scrapes across the surface of the disk, causing potential data loss. The G-Force Protection feature, an optional drop sensor, protects the Momentus 5400.7 drive against shock by sensing when the system is in a free-fall state, moving the heads off the platter and locking them in place—all within three-tenths of a second.
Key Advantages
- 8-MB cache delivers fast performance.
- Robust design and high shock tolerance enable mobility in rugged operating environments.
- 1000 Gs of nonoperating shock make the drive ideal for notebook PCs and industrial applications.
- G-Force Protection feature available for added robustness in mobile environments.
- Green features:
– Leverages Seagate laptop power management technology
– 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.
- Perpendicular recording technology.
- High instantaneous (burst) data transfer rates up to 3 Gb/s.
Best-Fit Applications
- Mainstream Laptops
- External Storage Solutions/Boxes
- Notebooks
- Industrial Applications
- Small Form factor Desktops
