It`s high time for Seagate to refresh the Momentus 7200 line using their Perpendicular Recording technology, which have been in use since it debuted in their Momentus 5400.3 hard drive. Thanks to the use of perpendicular recording, the new Momentus 7200.2 family boasts a maximum capacity of 160GB - 60% more than its predecessor.
Not only does this new recording method allow for much higher capacities, it also increases the platte

r-to-buffer throughput merely due to the increased areal density. While the Momentus 7200.1 had a maximum internal transfer rate of 45.8MB/s, the Momentus 7200.2 boasts a much higher internal transfer rate of 59MB/s. That`s about 28.8% faster than the already impressively-fast Momentus 7200.1.
This was confirmed in the platter transfer rate graph which showed that the Momentus 7200.2 had a maximum transfer rate of 59.1MB/s and a minimum transfer rate of 33MB/s. In fact, that was very close to the transfer rate profile of the Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 desktop hard drive - a very impressive achievement.
However, because of its smaller 8MB buffer, it ended up about 14-16% slower in reads and 8.6% slower in writes than the Barracuda 7200.9. Still, that is a very impressive performance for a 2.5¡å notebook hard drive. It was certainly much faster than the Fujitsu 4200 RPM hard drive we tested - about 21-27% in reads and 43.8% in writes.
Perpendicular recording aside, this is the first Seagate hard drive to feature an (optional) integrated G-Force Protection sensor package. This sensor package greatly increases the drive`s robustness and the survivability of your recorded data by automatically parking the read/write heads in the event of an accidental fall. This feature will be of great interest to those who put great value in their data but are currently using notebooks that do not support such sensors.
Tack on the magnificent 5-year limited warranty, and you will have a very attractive Seagate notebook hard drive upgrade for those who are not only interested in performance but also robustness. While the long warranty does not guarantee that this hard drive won`t quit on you in the next five years, it does show the amount of confidence Seagate has in the reliability of this model.
If you are looking for a high-performance notebook hard drive, the Seagate Momentus 7200.2 hard drive is certainly a hard drive you have to consider. It offers performance that`s close to that of desktop hard drives with a large storage capacity of 160GB. It also offers a G-Force Protection option for those who are looking for the extra protection against data loss when the notebook is accidentally dropped. All in a small 2.5¡å package. Hard to beat that!
