Seagate Momentus Drive SATA Drives


The finest 2.5 inch drive for your PowerBook, MacBookPro, MacBook or portable drive enclosure. This is the most reliable and best performing 5400 and 7200 rpm drive to be had anywhere. Seagate's Momentus drive delivers blazing performance at the lowest battery usage possible. 50% faster than 4200 rpm drives. Nearly silent, the SoftSonic FDB motor is virtually inaudible, even during access. Seagate Momentus drives deliver: performance, reliability and acoustics. The perfect combination.

ATA versions of these drives work exceptionally well in iBooks and PowerBooks, however, Seagate has discontinued all ATA model production.

SATA versions of these drives are the perfect upgrade or replacement in all current MacBooks, MacBookPro or Mac Mini. Please check your system specifications in Apple System Profiler to be certain of drive bus before ordering.

MacGurus highly recommends these industry leading drives for their perfomance, reliability and low power consumption. These are the best drives for these purposes on the market today.

Seagate's G-Protected drive has a lighter head and better lock down for the head to protect from shocks like drops and impacts. This protection for the first time extends to drive head crashes from impact even when the drive is spinning.

Seagate's 3D Defense System

DRIVE DEFENSE
  • QuietStep ramp load technology provides additional protection against shock while delivering whisper-quiet load/unload acoustics.
  • G-Force Protection guards the drive against nonoperating shock and prevents damage to the motor, heads, head-arm, clamp and discs during shipping, handling and daily operation.

Seagate

DATA DEFENSE
  • ECC (error-correction code) performs fast on-the-fly data validation and error checking for reliable data storage and retrieval.
  • Safe Sparing ensures data is not compromised by reserving spare sectors on a drive and substituting them if defects are detected in other sectors.
  • CBDS (continuous background defect scanning) proactively identifies and eliminates defects.
DIAGNOSTIC DEFENSE
  • SeaTools Suite diagnostic software is designed to reduce drive returns, decrease drive repair costs and protect data.
  • Web-based tools enable users to identify and solve common system-related issues.
  • Enhanced S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) predicts and prevents problems transparently before they affect the end user.
  • NDST (Enhanced Drive Self-Test) reduces diagnostic time.
