Momentus 5400 PSD
Introducing the only laptop storage that unleashes the power of Microsoft Windows
Vista while maintaining data integrity and integration simplicity. Laptop systems
provisioned with this amazing drive benefi t from extended battery life, speedy system
response time and increased storage reliability. Best of all, the drive is Windows
Vista-ready, so no special software or initiation is required.
The Seagate Momentus 5400 PSD drive is a 2.5-inch hybrid drive that combines
traditional hard disk technology and solid-state 256-MB fl ash memory. Incredibly
robust in highly mobile environments, the drive paired with Windows Vista conserves
power and boosts performance by analyzing laptop usage patterns and saving
frequently used data in the fl ash memory.
The Momentus 5400 PSD drive is benefi cial in any industry where Windows Vista
users need power effi ciency, data integrity, superior drive reliability and high
performance on their laptop computers. The table below highlights the business
value you can realize when deploying systems with this drive.
Explanation
Keep employees working faster with less disruptive downtime through rapid application loading and up to
20 percent faster boot time. This energy-saving drive also cuts drive-related power usage by 50 percent,
allowing longer work periods between recharging.
Hybrid drives are more reliable and have a longer mean time before failure rating than traditional hard
drives, so you should experience fewer drive-related support incidents over the life of the system.
The most frequently used data is stored in the drive's fl ash memory, reducing the amount of hard drive
access required. This results in greater drive reliability and data protection, and extended battery life with
less power consumption.
Minimize your efforts to restore or recreate lost data. Solid state fl ash memory helps protect data when
laptops are subject to shocks or damage.
The need for 50 percent less power than traditional hard drives reduces your need for high-cost primary
and backup batteries.
Make the "green" choice, lowering ongoing power consumption and improving battery life.
Improved boot and application load times make a difference in time-sensitive or audience-sensitive
situations, such as sales presentations and board meetings.
Employee satisfaction increases with system performance levels, extended battery life and the knowledge
that they are consuming less power when using their systems.
Take advantage of your investments in Windows Vista, allowing your staff to use the operating system at its
highest potential. Windows Vista automatically recognizes Seagate hybrid drives with no additional setup
requirements.
