Been waiting to use a headline like this for ages. Nothing wakes up our readers on a cold monday morning quite like a judicious dose of alliteration :) Anyway on with the story. Alienware, famous for their cutting edge gaming notebooks, have chosen Seagate hard drives for their Sentia notebook range, increasing storage capacity to a generous 240 GB.

Alienware,always known for its out-of-the-mainstream quality and gamingnotebooks, may not surprise anybody with its most recentannouncement: it has selected Seagate Technology hard drives forits next-generation Sentia laptops, bumping up their storagecapabilities to 240 GB.

The Seagate hard drives in question are the Momentus 5400.2-a120 GB model-and the Momentus 7200.1-either 100 GB or 80 GB. The240 GB potential-or 200 GB- obviously comes from the fact thatAlienware users can beam up an additional 2.5-inch drive, forstorage capabilities (at RAID 0) or for data protection (RAID 1).These configurations will be available on the Alienware MJ-12m7700 workstation and Area-51 m7700 mobile desktop, as well asthe Sentia Notebooks.

Why did Alienwaredecide to have a close encounter with Seagate? Seagate will tellyou its because of its hard drive's shock tolerance and powerefficiency, not to mention its overall quality of product andoutput.

Size matters, too. Seagate was the first to ship a 120 GB 5400RPM notebook hard drive. It is one of a few, if the only one, to move a 100 GB 7200 RPM laptop drive en masse. And it's the first manufacturer to unveil a2.5-inch notebook designed to bring to bear 160 GB of capacitywith perpendicular recording technology.

What does all that mean? You probably will not need to phonehome for more storage with a Seagate hard drive. And you probablywon't need to sweat security as much, as well. The Momentus drivehas built-in technology that can keep unwanted users fromaccessing your data.
