MOMENTUS

The First 5400-RPM Notebook Drive to Combine High Performance With 4200-like Power

Harness the power of experience, commitment and innovation from the industry’s only independent supplier of notebook disc drives.

BIG PERFORMANCE IN A SMALL PACKAGE
Five seconds feel like an eternity when your customers are waiting for an application or file to open on their notebook computers. And along with a rise in demand for notebook computers is a demand for increased performance. After all, many people are utilizing docking stations to simulate the look and feel of their old desktop. Seagate® Momentus™ unlocks the power of notebook computers with a 5400-RPM spin speed and optional 8-Mbyte cache buffer, so your customers don’t have to sacrifice performance for mobility.

BATTERY-SAVING POWER
Up until now, a faster drive wasn’t practical in notebook computers because it consumed the battery too quickly. The ideal notebook would have a high-performance hard drive with the type of power consumption your customers are used to. Thanks to Seagate, this is no longer just an ideal—it’s a reality. Seagate Momentus delivers desktop-like performance while preserving the battery as if the system had a 4200-RPM drive.

TOUGH AND RUGGED DESIGN
The profile for notebook users has expanded beyond just business people and the office. Notebook computers go everywhere now—planes, trains, cars, classrooms and more. They get powered-up, powered-down, opened, closed, bumped and nudged several times a day. This requires every component in the system, including the hard disc drive, to withstand the stress of everyday use. Mobility requires ruggedness, and Seagate Momentus delivers the reliability and shock tolerance to protect your reputation and your customers’ data.

INAUDIBLE ACOUSTICS
Can your hear your notebook computer? Some notebook hard disc drives
are loud and tend to be audible even when they idle. And when the drive seeks, it becomes even more noticeable. Seagate Momentus is completely inaudible at idle—actually below the human threshold of hearing. The clicking sound a notebook makes when its been sitting idle for a while can also be bothersome. That’s because the drive has gone into standby to conserve battery power and has loaded the heads up onto the ramp. In order to eliminate that bothersome sound, Momentus offers QuietStep™ ramp load technology. It not only features whisper-quiet load/unload acoustics, but it’s also more rugged because the heads are parked safely off the disc. Now you can build systems for your customers that can be seen and not heard.

5400-RPM ADVANTAGES OVER 4200-RPM

HELPING YOUR CUSTOMERS WORK FASTER
It’s proven! The increase in performance is significant, and a drive that spins faster helps your customers work faster. Your customers will see their notebook performance efficiency improve by 20 to almost 50 percent. Seagate Momentus enables you to offer your customers performance that is noticeably different from what they’re used to.

DESKTOP PERFORMANCE WITH AN 8-MBYTE CACHE
Why stop at just the faster spin speed, when you can offer your customers performance they might only expect from a desktop PC? Seagate Momentus is also available with an 8-Mbyte cache on top of its already fast 5400-RPM performance, so your customers can enjoy up to 15 percent more speed on their notebook computers.

FASTER DRIVE OR FASTER PROCESSOR?
If you want to build a faster notebook, you can do it one of two ways. You can upgrade the processor or build with a 5400-RPM drive. Either way you will get the same performance, but the cost delta between the two is considerably different. Building with the faster drive will always save you money.
