Seagate Momentus 640GB 2.5 Inch Hard Drive

For those who choose a laptop as their primary computer, storage space is an eternal problem. Between games, music, movies and pictures, the gigabytes can disappear before you know it. While this is true of any PC, notebooks have it doubly rough: they usually only have space for one drive, and that one has to fit the 2.5" form factor. Today, we'll be looking at one of Seagate's answers to this challenge, the Momentus 640GB.

The goal is a lofty one, and the price certainly reflects those sought-for heights. So, nothing for it but to hop off the cliff and see if this card rises to the heights, or plummets to the ground.
