The Seagate Momentus XT 750GB with FAST Factor doubles the cache NAND and adds a 50% capacity boost when compared to the 500GB first generation Momentus XT. While it's easy to look at something like FAST and shrug it off as marketing hype, the new Mom...
The Momentus XT 750GB is a more refined hybrid solution than its 500GB predecessor. The flash memory still only works as a read cache, but it's bigger, faster, and being used to greater effect. Seagate has upgraded the rest of the drive, too, giving it h...
Allinone Hybrid storage solution does not require software, Outperforms PCIExpress hybrid solutions in boot and file transfers, Seagate Adaptive Memory tech buffers data for SSD responsiveness, 5Year full Seagate product warranty, Large 750GB hybrid storage capacity, Extremely high HDD operational shock durability, Supports Native Command Queuing and SMART, SSD Failure does not effect pre
Lacks comparable IOPS operational performance to SSDs, Expensive hybrid storage solution (postfacility flooding), Hard disk would benefit from 64MB DRAM buffer

8GB of onboard NAND for caching, Excellent performance gain over last generatin drive, Good price/GB ratio, 4K sector, 750GB of storage space, 5 year warranty
Slightly higher power consumption
The first generation Momentus XT impressed us with its ability to improve system performance without sacrificing storage space. Naturally, we had high hopes with the 750GB Momentus XT. The result--the 750GB Momentus XT delivers. The updated 6Gbps SATA...

Yes. If you want a taste of SSD speeds but can't afford one, or simply need more storage and don't feel like Frankenstein-ing your rig with a combo SSD/HDD setup. It's not a bad deal at all for $US180, when an SSD for with a third of the storage costs twi...
Good speeds, especially cached data, Low price per gigabyte versus SSDs
Advantage tapers off with large amounts of random reads, More expensive than previous Momentus XT generation, High price
Seagate's latest iteraton of its hybrid hard drive combines 8GB of super-fast flash memory with a traditional spinning hard drive, allowing excellent read speeds for commonly accessed hard drive data like boot files. It's only a small amount more expensiv...
