Flash memory means faster speeds. Drive adapts to your usage.
Moving parts means it’s still susceptible to damage, just like your regular drive. Speeds up boot times, but transferring files is pretty much the same as traditional drives. Higher cost-per-gigabyte.

Increases access speeds and reduces boot times. Requires no additional hardware. Works with all operating systems.
Not as fast as SSDs or other hybrid solutions. Benefits don't kick in right away
With the Momentus XT (750GB) Seagate has improved its line of internal hybrid storage devices by boosting both capacity and performance....
Abstract: When I first used Seagate’s Momentus XT drive about a year ago, I was floored by how fast it was. The hybrid drive gave you awesome speeds on commonly used applications and the storage space that allowed you to keep plenty of files on hand. You couldn’...
I suppose it's fitting that Seagate didn't change the name of the Momentus XT in its second generation. Although the new drive is larger, faster and better in almost every way than its predecessor, it's still very much an evolution of the original. If you...
Abstract: Looking no different than any common 2.5" notebook hard drive, the trick up the Momentus XT's sleeve that it learns what data you frequently use and caches this to its 8GB of internal flash memory. Manufacturer: Category: Published: Author: Sea...
The result of this roundup is that due to the various hardware configurations each Hybrid solution is created for, there is no clear winner. The RevoDrive Hybrid dominates the field, but can only be installed into a desktop class machine. The Seagate Mome...
The Seagate Momentus XT (second generation) offers performance similar to solid-state drives (SSDs) while being much more affordable. The new drive now supports SATA 3 (6Gbps) and provides 750GB of storage space
The new Seagate Momentus XT is noticeably more expensive than regular hard drives of the same storage space. Its data copy speed is comparatively slower than that of high-end hard drives
Similar to the original, the Momentus XT (second generation) makes an excellent host drive for any computer, both laptops and desktops. It offers great value in terms of performance and cost, especially when compared to SDDs.
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
