Seagate's Momentus 7200.1 80GB hard drive is a sure fire way to get your notebook running like a high performance sports car. Blazing fast! With an 80GB that just begs to be put to the test with high end applications, this hard-drive is more than up to the challenge with an 8MB Cache Buffer and 7200 RPM hard disk that’s one of the fastest in the business. If you’re looking for reliability, consistency, and speed, look no further. This hard drive is S.M.A.R.T! It contains Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology that ensures your data will be safe from any defects, or drive failures. It does this by alerting you before they occur, and advises that an immediate back-up be performed before disaster strikes.

This high performance hard drive is surprisingly quite despite its high speed capabilities, i.e., 10.5ms seek time, and 4.2ms average latency. Seagate's Momentus deafening ultra silence make it the world’s first virtually silent hard drive. This feat is accomplished by the hard drive’s SoftSonic Fluid Dyanamic Bearing (FDB) motor, which also serves to minimize heat output and total vibrations. This is the hard drive you’ve been looking for. Now that you’ve found it, you know what to do. Get it today!

Great Drive - Great Service

Reviewed By: TomBob on 3/9/2006

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

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Upgraded 30GB 5400RPM OEM drive in a 3 year old Latitude last week. Clean install was a breeze. This upgrade has cut my boot time in half but then I got rid of some imbedded junk by doing a clean installation. Programs load much faster. Very fast drive. Quiet. No Problems !!! No issues at all.

Cons: None at this point.

Other Thoughts: Newegg always ships quickly. Used FedEx Saver and it arrived a day early. Thanks Newegg and FedEx.

Incredible

Reviewed By: ComputerJunkie on 3/20/2008

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

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: It breathed life into my laptop. Before I had an old 40 gig 4200 rpm hd and it was unbearable. Now I have double the space and it's so much faster. Just as an example how about this. Old hd booted up in about 1-5 minutes, this one 10-40 seconds. Amazing.

Cons: So far all that's bad is that it runs hotter and at times can be annoyingly loud. I'm ok with the heat because the laptop stays on my desk but the noise really is a bother.

Other Thoughts: As soon as I can I'm going to up my ram from 256 mb to 2 gigs. With my new hd and the ram my laptop will finally be able to act like a functional computer.

From 4200 to 7200 in a flash!

Reviewed By: U.S.Dave on 3/12/2008

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

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Quick install, out with the old, in with the new.
Clean install was as easy as putting in the Operating System CD.
This drive is as quiet as the OEM from Dell (Inspiron 8600, 4200 RPM 40 Gig) Maybe quieter. Warm to the touch after 6 hours of loading software. If I were to have listened to some reviews I would have thought I would be able to make toast while wearing hearing protection with this drive, Not so at all.
If and when you have the opportunity to purchase one of these drives for your older ATA Lap Top, do so as they are becoming hard to find at a semi-reasonable rate.
This upgrade along with 2 Gigs of RAM has brought an ageing Dell Inspiron 8600 into the 21st century.

Cons: Notta

Other Thoughts: If you have an older Lap Top that you are considering replacing, try this upgrade first. If you still feel like you need a new Lap Top you'll still get your money back out of the drive when you sell your old Lap Top.

Fast and long lasting

Reviewed By: on 3/4/2008

Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year

Pros: The ATA-6 interface takes advantage of 7200rpm and hence lower seek and access time to data. It is considerably faster compared to the same exact model with 5400rpm. And it is still performing well after two years of long hour operation.

Cons: Nothing really!

Other Thoughts: Wish newegg would carry them more often.
