Seagate Momentus 5400.6

The Seagate Momentus 5400.6 is an internal hard drive that comes in 120, 160, 250, 320 and 500 GB storage capacities.  As part of the 5400 series, it has a 5400 RPM spindle speed making it run slower then the 7400 RPM models. It has a optional G-Force Protection Technology adding additional durability, and it can withstand up to 1000Gs of shock making it suitable for notebooks and external storage applications.  The G-force works by sensing when the object is in a state of free fall and isolates the hard drive and thus prevents it from any data loss. This machine is the loudest one of the entire 5400 series.
