SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif., Sept. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Seagate
(NASDAQ:STX) today announced that Acer, one of the world's largest
providers of notebook computers, is offering new mobile computers
using Seagate Momentus(R) 5400.6 hard drives -- a 500GB 2.5-inch
HDD with the fastest data transfer rates in its class, designed to
meet explosive worldwide demand for high capacity home and business
notebook computers. Seagate Momentus 5400.6 500GB hard drives
deliver the perfect combination of capacity, speed and durability
to support rich digital gaming and other intensive multimedia
applications that are the hallmark of the Acer Aspire consumer
notebook PCs, and the blazing on-the-road performance and shock
tolerance of the Acer TravelMate professional notebooks. Momentus
5400.6 drives combine an areal density of 394 Gbytes per square
inch -- the highest ever for a notebook hard drive -- with a data
transfer rate of 87 Megabytes/second, the fastest available for a
5400-rpm notebook drive. "Acer mobile PC customers want notebooks
that deliver state-of-the-art capabilities to meet their needs for
capacity, performance and durability," said Campbell Kan, vice
president of the Mobile Computing Business Unit at Acer. "Seagate's
new 500GB Momentus hard drive enables Acer to deliver the richest
multimedia experience and on-the-go robustness available for
notebook computers." "We are pleased that Acer is delivering
cutting-edge mobile computers with 500GB notebook hard drives from
Seagate, with more personal computer makers to follow," said
BanSeng Teh, vice president and managing director, Seagate Asia
Pacific. "Seagate continues to advance hard drive capacity, speed
and durability, and our latest 500GB 2.5-inch drives and 1.5
Terabyte 3.5-inch drives provide the highest capacities on the
planet to meet the growing need to create, store, share and protect
digital content." Momentus 5400.6 HDD, Seagate's newest 2.5-inch
5400-rpm drive, delivers the best combination of capacity, mobility
and durability for mainstream notebook computers, external storage
solutions and industrial applications requiring a small form
factor. The drive, the fourth generation of Seagate's notebook
family to use capacity-boosting Perpendicular Magnetic Recording
technology, combines a powerful Serial ATA 3GB/second interface and
capacities of 500GB, 320GB, 250GB, 160GB and 120GB with 8MB of
cache. To help protect data, the hard drive is built tough to
withstand up to 1,000 Gs of non-operating shock and 350 Gs of
operating shock, making it ideal for systems that are subject to
rough handling or high levels of vibration. For extra durability in
mobile environments, Momentus 5400.6 hard drives are offered with
G-Force Protection(TM), a free-fall sensor technology that helps
prevent drive damage and data loss upon impact if a notebook PC is
dropped. The sensor works by detecting any changes in acceleration
equal to the force of gravity, then parking the head off the disk
to prevent contact with the platter in a free fall of as little as
8 inches. Moreover, the drive is thrifty on power consumption,
allowing mobile notebook users to work longer between battery
charges, and virtually inaudible thanks to Seagate's innovative
SoftSonic(TM) fluid-dynamic bearing motors. About Seagate Seagate

operating system may use a different standard of measurement and
report a lower capacity. In addition, some of the listed capacity
is used for formatting and other functions, and thus will not be
available for data storage. Actual quantities will vary based on
