  • Very fast performance, Adaptive Memory technology

  • The Seagate Momentus XT 500GB exhibits very good performance and is the best amongst 2.5-inch form factor 7200 RPM hard drives. The capacity of 500GB with a good speed does indeed give you the best of both worlds. The drive is priced at Rs.8,100, while...

  • Seagate's Momentus XT hybrid hard drive adds flash storage to increase speed significantly over a standard hard drive in some scenarios. If you want a performance boost on a budget, and you value capacity too, this second-gen hybrid drive makes a good...

  • Excellent performance for a 2.5" drive, Excellent performance overall when repeatedly using the same small files
  • 4 GB isn't much for the SSD part, Performance improvement limited to two or three pieces of software
  • It can't match the best pure SSD drives, but the Momentus XT is a great alternative to traditional hard drives and is the new leader in our table of 2.5" drives....

  • Value for money, Almost desktop drive performance
  • No write acceleration, Power use same as traditional drive

  • For now, the Seagate Momentus XT is a lone duckling in a sea of options. But now that the drive has proven itself, it will be interesting to see if other drive makers decide to go the route of hybrid technology. If sheer performance is what you want, ...

  • Excellent performance at a significantly lower price than solidstate drives (SSDs), Larger capacity than SSDs, Generous fiveyear warranty
  • More expensive than traditional hard drives, Capacity currently tops out at 500GB, Doesn't support the new 6Gbps SATA 3.0 standard
  • The hybrid Momentus XT is an excellent replacement for traditional notebook hard drives, offering large capacities and SSD-like performance at a fraction of the cost.…
