100 GB 7200 RPM notebook drive

The Seagate Momentus 7200.1 ST910021AS is a 2.5-inch internal hard drive built for laptops that need faster mechanical storage. Its 7200 RPM spindle speed and 8 MB cache suit users upgrading older notebooks or building compact workstations where solid-state capacity is not required.

SATA 1.5 Gb/s interface with NCQ

The drive connects through a SATA 1.5 Gb/s link that supports Native Command Queuing for more efficient command ordering. QuietStep ramp-load technology parks the heads off the platters during spin-down, reducing acoustic noise and improving shock tolerance. A Fluid Dynamic Bearing motor further lowers operating sound and power draw.

9.5 mm height constraint

At 9.5 mm thick the drive fits standard 2.5-inch bays found in most mainstream and workstation-class notebooks. Buyers whose chassis only accepts 7 mm drives cannot use this unit.

Questions about this item

How often should the 7200 RPM mechanism with SoftSonic FDB motor be serviced?

The Fluid Dynamic Bearing motor is sealed for life and requires no scheduled lubrication or bearing service.

What limits sustained throughput first — the SATA 1.5 Gb/s link or the 8 MB cache?

The SATA 1.5 Gb/s interface caps continuous transfer at roughly 150 MB/s, well below what the 7200 RPM platters can sustain.

How much heat and noise does the 2.5 inch 7200 RPM drive produce in all-day use?

QuietStep ramp-load technology and the FDB motor keep acoustics at a whisper while reducing power draw for cooler operation.
