Momentus
®
7200.3
Industry-leading 7200-RPM performance meets
the industry’s lowest power consumption levels.
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. G-Force Protection, an optional drop
sensor, protects the Momentus 7200.3 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.
Market Opportunity
Demand for drives for laptop computers
continues to grow exponentially. The laptop
transition is driven by technology, as the
performance gap between desktops and
laptop PCs continues to close, making it
possible to run the same applications on
a laptop that users would previously have
run on a desktop. Users no longer have to
sacrifice performance for mobility.
