  • The 2.5" hard drive in the Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini isn't a Maxtor drive at all. It's a Seagate Momentus 5400.5 LD25.2 hard drive.

  • Here is the Seagate product overview to the Momentus 5400.2 hard drive, model number ST980210AS

  • Removing the EMF shield reveals a small PCB that plugs directly into the SATA and power connections of the Momentus 5400.5. It doesn't even have a physical connection to the RFI shield -- it just hangs off the back of the drive itself. The SATA connections to the drive are soldered to the PCB itself.

  • The controler board's chip is made by Initio. It is a Initio INIC-1605 USB to SATA Bridge Chip
