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...

SSD-like performance in everyday use, Excellent overall performance, Dataplex software is excellent, Easy to install
Takes up almost two PCI-Express slots, Time consuming to install OS and applications, Locked to the included hard drive for now
In the emerging world of hybrid storage solutions, the OCZ RevoDrive Hybrid is truly unique - there's nothing on the market quite like this offering. The Hybrid delivers near industry-leading SSD speeds across a 1TB 2.5" hard drive - consider the main obj...

Abstract: he OCZ RevoDrive Hybrid has a unique caching system unlike what we saw in place on other hybrid platforms such as the Seagate Momentus XT. On the XT, all the user saw from the hardware level was a single 500GB hard drive, with the internal software hiding...
