The Seagate Momentus ST980815A 80GB notebook hard drive uses perpendicular recording technology for maximum capacity, reliability and performance in demanding operating environments. Perpendicular recording technology increases capacity and reliability and reduces the potential for thermal decay of data.

The ATA-100 interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of notebooks. An 8MB cache buffer and a 5400RPM supply fast transfer speeds with a minimum of bottlenecks.

The whisper quiet acoustics and low power consumption make this drive a prime choice for external drive enclosures, tablet PCs in addition to notebooks and non mission critical blade servers.

Very quiet and fast!

Reviewed By: Leroy on 6/7/2007

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Replaced a clunky old 40GB Toshiba HDD with this jewel in a Dell Inspiron 8200. Man, what a performance increase and the Seagate is extremely quiet!

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Absolutely the best hard drive on the market! I did my product research for three months prior to ordering this item from Newegg. I've always been very pleased with Newegg's quick delivery and service...can't be beat!

4 gigs to 80

Reviewed By: Seabee on 10/3/2006

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

Pros: Installed it in an old Dell Latitude CPx PII, after up grading the BIOS. I used Acronis to transfer my 4 gig HD, and after playing around with the BIOS settings, and using Partition Magic to set the size I got it working. I love it!

Cons: "New" technology. Really fast though.

Other Thoughts: At first I was going to go with a 40 gig to be safe, but thought I'd try the 80, and am glad I did.

Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: I was expecting to last

Cons: Just start to go bad, I ran 2 programs for testing the hard drive. One show over heating. the other that the driver was failing and need to back up or loss all my data. I remove it and put back the original. I am contacting Seagate monday for a replacement. Just die at 1 month of the date of delivery.

great boot drive

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Easy to install, great price, fast and quiet drive, download software from Seagate web site to clone my old, smaller hard drive to this drive. Cloned drive works great and my old Qosmio G15 laptop that even boots faster now with the new drive.
As usualy very fast delivery from newegg!
