Over the last year the Serial ATA interface has gone from obscurity to become the technology of choice for performance PCs.  Now with the Momentus 5400.2, Seagate brings the high performance of SATA to your laptop.  Momentus is the industry's first notebook hard drive to combine a high-performance 5,400-rpm spindle speed with the low battery-consumption of a traditional 4200-rpm notebook hard drive, so customers no longer have to choose between performance and mobility. Seagate's patented SoftSonic fluid dynamic motor and new QuietStep ramp load technology make Momentus one of the quietest, most rugged notebook hard drives available.  Just how well does SATA perform in the 2.5" arena?  Lets find out.

     Don't let the size of this little beauty fool you, this drive is tough.  The Momentus 5400.2 is designed to take the shock of 250 Gs, let me see the rest of your laptop take that!

     The Seagate design is pretty standard with little to catch the eye on the outside.  But this simple efficient design has helped to make Seagate one of the top hard drive manufacturers in the world.

     Here you can see the SATA interface plugs.  No adaptors needed for a typical SATA install.  This SATA interface is capable of transfer speeds up to 1.5 GB a second.
