Product Information
Take your electronic systems to the next level with this Seagate Momentus hard drive. This internal hard drive has a storage capacity of 500GB, providing plenty of space for your photos, files, and videos. Additional space also improves the performance of your electronics. You can use this unit with your gaming system, laptop, or workstation. It has a SATA interface that offers rapid data transfer. G-Force Protection keeps your data safe when your laptop or gaming system takes a tumble. The Self-Encrypting Drive keeps your data secure from data breaches. Let this internal hard drive expand the capabilities of your electronics.Designed for consumer laptops and for desktop computers with limited space, these drives are built with a 2.5-inch form factor. Their slim profile allows you to use these devices in tandem with many other hard disks. They can also be used in a small notebook computer where other drives won't fit. The Seagate Momentus connects to a motherboard via a 3 GB/s SATA interface. This delivers plenty of data transfer speed. A 7200 RPM spindle allows you to access any address on the hard disk quickly. This disk uses a 16MB buffer cache to hold critical I/O data, noticeably improving your user experience. A fluid dynamic bearing motor decreases noise, wear, and vibrations, which increase the life of the component.Latency rates have a major impact on overall disk performance. The Seagate Momentus ST9500423AS has an average latency rate of only 4.2 milliseconds, keeping lookup times low. The 300 MBps data transfer rate sends large quantities of data up and downstream quickly. This enables you to run complex software applications from this device. Native Command Queuing quickly optimizes the order for read/write commands to the disk. By grouping simpler commands together, it can increase the rate of data transfer dramatically, resulting in a much-improved experience on your end. HDD models rarely make a non-recoverable error. The chances of this model doing so are one in 10 to the fourteenth power. That is effectively zero for all noncommercial applications, giving you security and peace of mind. These drives support 600,000 stop/start cycles before they become unhealthy. This allows you to run them for years with a very low risk of failure. SMART diagnostic and scanning tools allow you to detect when this drive may be approaching the end of its life. If you check for and act on those alerts, you can save your data, which often means preserving years of work and lots of memories.A series of hard drive optimizations allow you to run Seagate Momentus accessories in many conditions for many different tasks. They can effectively run at any temperature above freezing and below 140 degrees Fahrenheit. At any normal humidity, they also remain operative. This is especially helpful if you've connected the disk to a portable computer and hope to use it outside. These disks are all equipped with significant shock resistance. This protects them in the event of an impact and prevents the optical scanner from being dislodged.Product Identifiers
