  • There are two ways of looking at Seagate's new Momentus XT. If you know that the drive pairs rotating storage with 4GB of SLC NAND flash memory, then you probably expect a lot from this new product. I have to admit that this happened to us. However, looki...

  • Inexpensive, high capacities, performance boosts,
  • Not quite SSD performance, does not run nearly as cool as an SSD
  • If you're anything like me, you may be dying to jump on the SSD bandwagon, except you don't want to downgrade your capacity, and you don't want to pay $500++ for an equivalent capacity. The Seagate Momentus XT is the perfect hard drive to hold you ove...

  • Great performance comparing to SSD drives, Highly affordable, Adaptive Memory technology,
  • None that we could find.
  • Just by looking at our test data you can clearly see who is the winner. You got it the SSD however, considering the performance of Momentus XT and price per storage Momentus XT becomes a clear winner among the consumer. Consumer who doesn't want to spe...
