Seagate unveiled what I think will change
hard drive market in the nearest future. Momentus XT hybrid drive is what we are talking about here. Momentus XT shipping now to OEMs is a combination of a small form factor HDD coupled with a small SSD module. All together they allow users to have large capacities with much faster performance, comparable with standalone SSDs even, for the quarter of the price as Seagate presenter says in official comparison video. HDD and SSD interoperability is managed by Adaptive Memory
technology. It monitors OS’, programs’ and user’s file calls and moves frequently used ones to a built-in SSD. Momentus XT is shipped as an upgrade option for ASUS gaming
notebooks with various hard drive capacities but all of them have the same 4GB solid state supplement. Follow the link for Seagate Momentus XT specifications.
Seagate Momentus XT specifications:
- Solid state drive capacity: 4GB
- Hard drive capacity: 500GB, 320GB, 250GB @ 7200rpm w/32MB cache
- Interface: SATA 3Gb/s w/NCQ
