The Aopen MP915-P PC is available with the Seagate 80 GB Momentus 4200.2 drive, while the MP915-C model is built with the 40 GB LD25 hard drive. Both PCs are available worldwide.

"AOpen's new mini PCs give consumers more power, but in a smaller footprint and at a great value," said Bernie Tsai, president of AOpen. "Seagate 2.5-inch hard drives will enable us to meet strong demand for PCs that are small, easy-to-use and portable."

"Seagate Momentus and LD25 hard drives combine the performance, size, ruggedness and quiet operation AOpen needed for its new MP915-P and MP915-C systems," said Ban Seng Teh, Seagate vice president and managing director, Asia Sales and Marketing. "Seagate will continue to push the limits of 2.5-inch drives with the shipment of the industry's first notebook drive built on perpendicular recording technology to deliver a massive 160 GB of capacity and the rollout of the first 2.5-inch drive with hardware-based full disc encryption to protect data on lost or stolen notebook PCs."

The Momentus family delivers a range of spin speeds (4,200-, 5,400- and 7,200-rpm), capacities (40 GB to 160 GB), and interfaces (Serial ATA and Ultra ATA), allowing system builders to offer a variety of systems ranging from low-cost and mainstream notebook PCs to high-performance mobile workstations, small form factor PCs and blade servers. The Momentus drives feature Seagate's SoftSonic fluid dynamic motor and QuietStep ramp load technology for a quite performance.

The LD25 Series is a consumer electronics hard drive in a compact, 2.5-inch form factor that enables smaller, simpler, cooler-running and more cost-effective game consoles, home entertainment devices and small footprint media PCs. Seagate's DynaPlay technology optimizes the drive for media streaming, power consumption and content security.
