Seagate Momentus 160Gb 2.5inch hard drive

Advantages: Huge capacity, reasonably fast, 5 year warranty
Disadvantages: Not the fastest

...battery life - if you're spinning it faster, the battery life will suffer, badly. After a quick search I came across the Seagate. The capacity is huge compared to most laptop drives at 160Gb. This is as a result of a fairly new technology called perpendicular recording which allows the drive to write data vertically in the disk magnetic layer as opposed to across it. This gives the possibility for much more storage space than traditional non perpendicular drives. The price was also ridiculously cheap (that or I've not being paying attention to 2.5inch drive prices recently). If I'm honest, I was also unaware that perpendicular recording had made it to laptops so there was an element of the 'new and cool technology' in the buying equation. The drive spins at 5600RPM which ought to make it quicker but it should also be quicker still because...

Apple iPod Classic 160GB Black

Advantages: Easy To Use And Lots Of Memory
Disadvantages: None

...Apple iPod Classic 160GB Black The Apple iPod Classic is the best Mp3 player on the market. I paid £230 for my iPod Classic and I must say I am very impressed. There are many new features to the iPod Classic. The sound quality is great and the video quality is just as good as a TV. With 160GB of memory you will never have to worry about running out of space ever again. The iPod its self is very durable. I have dropped my iPod lots of times and it still looks brand new. The screen is a bit like a small wide screen TV but its great for watching TV shows and movies. I wouldn't recommend that any one buys a second hand iPod, as they are quite often broken. In the past I have brought a previous version of the iPod on eBay and when I received the iPod it didn't work, I was very disappointed. Apple iPod Classic 160GB Black Includes...

Apple iPod Classic 160GB Silver

Advantages: Easy To Use, Lots Of Memory, Many New Features
Disadvantages: None

...Apple iPod Classic 160GB Silver The Apple iPod Classic is a great mp3 player. With 160GB of memory you wont have to worry about how much space you've got left ever again. I paid about £220 for my iPod classic and it was well worth it. With the iPod Classic you can browse you music in many different ways. The newest feature to searching for music is the cover flow feature. This is where you can browse all of your albums by the front cover and you simply click on the cover to see the track listing. You can still browse by Song, Artist, Album and most played. The video feature is excellent. You can hold up to 200 hours of video, all on your iPod Classic.

Apple iPod Classic 160 GB

Advantages: Range Of Features
Disadvantages: None

...Apple iPod Classic 160 GB The iPod Classic is the best once so far with many features. There is not much you can't do on your iPod Classic and with 160 GB of memory you cant go wrong.

The iPod Classic is very durable and is practically unbreakable. The battery life on the iPod Classic is excellent. You can listen to music for up to 40 hours and you can watch videos for up to 7 hours. The memory is the best thing with the iPod Classic. You can hold up to 40,000 songs or 200 hours of video.

Seagate 160 GB HDD, ATA 100

Advantages: Only sleekness. Nothin other than this in my opinion
Disadvantages: Everything. Performance, reliability, speed, sound etc.

.... Comparison Im using Hitachi 160 GB now and it really rocks. Reliability is very good and very silent in its operation. Also Hitachi performance is better with its 8MB cache. It took 1.57 minutes to copy a 6.8 GB Hi-Def movie file in Hitachi but this took 2.41 minutes. Not recommended to buy this, its better to buy Seagate HDD of capacity 250 GB and above. Advantage In my opinion the only advantage that i can mention is the Manufacturer's support. He never let me down even for a single time when i went to him for servicing this HDD when it got repaired. :-) This is truly my opinion and mean no harm to anyone. P.S = Thanx for your ratings in advance. Regards Nishanth Lakshminarayanan....

Review of Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 160 GB

Ipod Classic - 160GB

Advantages: Size, Workmanship, Functionality
Disadvantages: Zero support for some old peripherals, crashes car stereo , Bit heavy!

...and click 'get album artwork' - this did take a while... but worked! Whilst coverflow looks nice I don't think it adds extra functionality to the IPod... more a space draining quirk! It does look awesome though ;-) Sound playback is the usual high standard - but this is really down to you, the user - I have all my imported (off CD) music set to apple loss-less. Which will take up more space, but with 160 GIGS to play with... it is not a great deal more! It must be said - the headphones supplied are useless... get some Sennheiser CX300 - the added clarity is noticeable - and you do not need it as loud! The hat trick is that the ear buds stay in my ear when I am working out. Video playback; to test this I ripped Family Guy from dvd to IPod using the ImToo software package. Quality was good - but KILLS your battery! So not ideal...

Seagate Momentus, Good allaround.

Advantages: Speedy, High Capacity, Quite, good customer support
Disadvantages: Requires a bit more power than other laptop drives.

...If you are looking for a good hard disk for your laptop you are looking at the right line of Hard disk from Seagate, the Seagate Momentus is one of the best laptop hard disks out there, I have been using one for some time now and have had it never go wrong, the only down side to the disk the power consumption of it is around 1 amp (5 watts) usually and for most low end disks it is usually around 0.5 amps (2.5 watts), but this is down to the speed of which the disk spins at, a staggering 7200 RPM, for a laptop hard disk this is fast, as most hard disk for laptops only work at ether 4200 RPM or 5400 RPM. Since this hard disk has such a fast spindle, it means that it can read and write like 'Billy Stink' (old expression!) The price for this disk isn't too bad considering that you are getting a high speed, high capacity disk that is nearly...

Review of Samsung Portable HM160JU 160 GB

Seagate ST9320325AS

Advantages: Small, quiet, reliable
Disadvantages: Can't think of any really

...I bought this particular harddrive recently to be used as backup for all my photos and music and other miscellaneous documents that I have managed to collect over the years. Basically, mainly all external hard drives on the market today are just ordinary hard drives in an external caddy which provides power and allows you to connect it to your computer to read data. It's extremely easy to buy your own hard drive and caddy, connect them together yourself and away you go with your own customised external HDD. A 2.5" hard drive is the size used for laptops so consequently it is smaller and more compact than a regular 3.5" drive for desktops. The Seagate ST9320325AS is a SATA-300 drive which basically means it's quite fast although the regular consumer doesn't really notice the difference all that much between that and older style...

Seagate Momentus 7200.1 ST910021A 100 GB Review

Advantages: Small, fast, large cache
Disadvantages: Expensive

...times. So overall it performs well. Seagate are a trusted manufacturer and have been around for a while. As far as I'm aware they have never made a bad device line, but then my HDD's of preference are normally Western digital. The device uses an 8mb cache, this isn't a special as it used to be since many other 2.5"HDDs now use this amount but its still a plus point for the device. It runs a 7200RPM, this is about the same as many normal 3.5" HDDs but is quite fast for a laptop variant. As I said before it is important to look at your need for this type of device, there are many other devices available that do the same job but for a far lower price. You should only buy 2.5" HDD's if you really need one and if you can't use anything else. I bought this one new from Ebuyer for just over £100 inc VAT and delivery. Its now happily...
