SATA Drives and ATA Drives
The finest 2.5 inch
drive for your PowerBook, MacBookPro, MacBook or portable drive enclosure.
This is the most reliable and best performing
5400 and 7200 rpm drive to be had anywhere. Seagate's Momentus drive
delivers blazing performance at the lowest battery usage possible. 50% faster
than
4200 rpm drives. Nearly silent, the SoftSonic FDB motor is virtually inaudible,
even during access.
Seagate Momentus drives deliver: performance, reliability and acoustics. The
perfect combination.
ATA versions of these drives will work exceptionally well
in iBooks and PowerBooks, however, as of late july Seagate has discontinued all ATA model production. We will be looking around for some replacement brands
for these excellent drives.
SATA
versions of
these drives are the perfect upgrade or replacement in all current MacBooks,
MacBookPro
or Mac Mini. Please check your system specifications in Apple System
Profiler to be certain of drive bus before ordering.
MacGurus highly recommends these
industry leading drives for their perfomance, reliability and low
power consumption.
These are the best drives for these purposes on the market today.
Seagate's G-Protected drive has a lighter head and better
lock down for the head to protect from shocks like drops and impacts. This
protection for the
first time extends to drive head crashes from impact even when the
drive is spinning.
Seagate's 3D Defense System
DRIVE DEFENSE- QuietStep ramp load technology provides additional
protection against shock while delivering whisper-quiet
load/unload acoustics.
- G-Force Protection guards the drive against nonoperating
shock and prevents damage to the motor, heads,
head-arm, clamp and discs during shipping, handling
and daily operation.
|
DATA DEFENSE- ECC (error-correction code) performs fast on-the-fly
data validation and error checking for reliable data
storage and retrieval.
- Safe Sparing ensures data is not compromised by
reserving spare sectors on a drive and substituting
them if defects are detected in other sectors.
- CBDS (continuous background defect scanning)
proactively identifies and eliminates defects.
|
DIAGNOSTIC DEFENSE - SeaTools Suite diagnostic software is designed to
reduce drive returns, decrease drive repair costs
and protect data.
- Web-based tools enable users to identify and solve
common system-related issues.
- Enhanced S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and
Reporting Technology) predicts and prevents problems
transparently before they affect the end user.
- NDST (Enhanced Drive Self-Test) reduces
diagnostic time.
