Seagate Launches 160GB Perpendicular Notebook Hard Drive

By

Seagate Technology has begun shipping the industry’s first 2.5-inch notebook PC disc drive built on perpendicular recording technology to the worldwide distribution channel. To make things better these drives are 160GB, which offer more storage than most would need in a notebook!

Momentus 5400.3, a 5,400-rpm drive that operates with 4,200-rpm power efficiency to extend battery life, is Seagate’s first to bring the higher capacities and performance of perpendicular recording to mainstream notebook PCs. With Momentus 5400.3, Seagate once again leads the industry in areal density, delivering 132 Gbits per square inch to provide the highest levels of drive capacity, reliability and performance. Seagate will also extend the advantages of perpendicular recording to its 7,200-rpm Momentus disc drives and to all of its 1- and 3.5-inch products.
