Seagate Momentus 120GB 2.5" HD

VL writes "A mobile user can never have enough storage space, so we checkout Seagate's latest solution for notebooks. Seagate's warranty is among the best I've seen at five years, which is much better than the one year or so that comes with laptops (and thus their hard drives) or the three years offered by others. Performance is what this drive is targeted to excel at, an it seems to do so fairly well. In our tests we saw it do markedly better than the Hitachi drive in most tests that focused on performance. Battery life was slightly lower than that of the Hitachi drive but within 2% of that drive. "

Wow. I know what's going into my trusty old Archos [rockbox.org] mp3 player real soon now...

Fascinating!

These Slashdot hard drive articles never get old.

I can hardly wait for the upcoming artlcles about Maxtor and Western Digital coming out with 2.5 inch 150GB drives.

I'm on the edge of my seat!

Re:120 GB...

[Anonymous Coward]

but I really wonder, what do you need 120 GB in your laptop for?

45 gigs of porn movies on my laptop right now

Finally!

At last I can take my pr0n collection on the road!

Well, half of it, at least...

That's disgusting

I avoid all pornographic material. A few years ago, I accidientally encountered whitehouse.com, but other than that I have managed to keep the digital scum off my LCDS, CRTs, and off my HDDs. I think pornography an unacceptable influence on children and adults alike. I'd like to see the U.S. follow China and banish it from inside the United States. Isn't there much more interesting things you coul do with 45 GB and your broadband? I admit I use my HDD and broadband mostly for caching Slashdot content and viewing Slashdot. :) However, I am often working on little programming projects or setting up machines. I think you would find you would become much happier if you did away with the pronography.

100 hours of porn.? Who really needs more than 10 to 15 minutes?

Sven Väth Mixes

[meehawl]

120 GB is from 41 to 83 days of music

Obviously, you are not familiar with some of Sven Väth's longer mixes...

Um, I'm having a space crunch here with ~3TB of disk space across the 4 desktop machines I run daily.

I need much more that 120GB and it needs to be on my desktop.
