| Pros | |

| Pros | |
| Cons | |
| Verdict | The question of compatibility overshadows the 7200.9 as we expect that storage should plug in and behave, and the idea that a hard drive may 'disappear? at any moment is deeply concerning. The 7200.9 is fast, quiet and good value, but its new SATA2.5 ... |

| Summary | This is a second generation sample of Seagate's flagship model Momentus, now with SATA interface and the highest capacity of any 5400 RPM notebook drive. Our sample of one of the original Momentus left us nonplussed. This 5400.2 fares much better. |
| Pros | |

| Verdict | Our 120GB sample of the Momentus 5400.2 is one of the quietest drives we've tested. Although notebook drives tend to be quieter in general, this one is quiet even for a notebook drive ? only the slowest 4200 RPM drives are likely to be quieter. In ... |
