Cutting-Edge Features and Exceptional Performance

With fourth-generation perpendicular magnetic recording technology and capacities up to 500 GB, the Seagate® Momentus® 5400.6 drive offers the best combination of performance, capacity, mobility and durability in a laptop hard drive. The Momentus 5400.6 drive offers a fast SATA 3Gb/s interface plus an 8-MB cache, making the drive ideal for mainstream laptops, workstations, gaming laptops and personal external storage.

G-Force Protection

When a laptop is dropped, the most catastrophic damage to the hard drive occurs when the head scrapes across the surface of the disk, causing potential data loss. The G-Force Protection feature, an optional drop sensor, protects the Momentus 5400.6 drive against shock by sensing when the system is in a free-fall state, moving the heads off the platter and locking them in place—all within three-tenths of a second.
