Seagate has become the
industry leader in PC storage by offering technologies like
Perpendicular Recording backed with their outstanding 5 year warranty.
Now Seagate brings the same innovation to the 2.5' drives with the
Momentus 7200.2 series hard drives. With both 7200 RPMs and SATA
3Gb/s under the hood, this promises to be the top laptop drive on the
market. We put their 160 GB to the test for you right here!
Product Description

great fit in specific non-PC applications, including
non-mission-critical blade servers, external storage devices and small
form factor PCs.

SATA 3.0 often referred to as SATA II
or SATA/300 represents the latest generation of the SATA family.
Offering speeds up to 300 MBps and moving at more than twice the speed
of traditional ATA devices, the SATA standard is well on course to
making the traditional PATA interface obsolete. The advantages of
the SATA 3.0 interface include more than just speed but also the ability
to prioritize requests to optimize response times through NCQ. The
SATA 3.0 standard is widely expected to become the dominant interface
and to remain so for the foreseeable future.
