With the second generation Momentus XT we have a hybrid hard drive that has the ability to outperform its predecessor, without really seeing the huge upgrade necessary to fully negate the need for an SSD. Ultimately it's an issue of cost. Ditto for synthetic benchmarks which rely on largely random data sets. Beginners Guides Cases and Access. Seagate Internal Solid-State Drives.

Seagate ran extensive tests to make sure that desktop systems with 2. Granted the hard drive manufacturers won't let it get to that point, and the Momentus XT shows us one path to avoiding this problem. In many cases, momsntus was fast enough to be better than 3. Performance can be used as an upgrade but only if the capacity and cost points are compelling.

At the end of the day though, the capacity and performance equation is very favorable, giving the new Momentus XT plenty of opportunity to find its market. Our next set of synthetic benchmarks look at the inner and outer edge performance of the GB Seagate Momentus XT, with the outer edge being fastest and the inner edge being slowest.

Let's say you're running a library with thousands of books and thousands of users. Improving platter density only really addresses sequential access performance, without faster spindle speeds, random access performance remains mostly untouched from one generation to the next.

It can support multiple partitions if you plan to use both operating systems. The front and sides are fairly basic as far as hard drives and SSDs go these days, although Seagate did include four jumpers on the front next to the SATA power and data connection. Its design makes it possible to create a GB partition for Windows while still leaving more than enough space for a second operating system. Xxt closest drive managed just 0. Individual NAND cells have a limited number of writes, so the Momentus spreads out usage over the entire solid state area.

The big question buyers will need to consider is price mimentus GB.

Momentu HD works great, brand new, and the OS and software on it worked without having to do anything. To see peak performance through the momentuw mechanism we looped the benchmark four or five times in succession before the speeds leveled off.

Although the Momentus XT's NAND doesn't directly cache writes, it can improve write performance by allowing the drive to service some reads through the cache, thus freeing up the drive's heads for write operations instead of being weighed down by servicing both. To gain widespread adoption Seagate needs two things: The trace captures the heavy read activity of each game loading from the start, as well as textures as the game progresses.

Similar but smarter than the system used on the first Momentus XT, it identifies usage patterns to keep the most frequently accessed data at the LBA level in the NAND cache for faster access.

As it fits the standard laptop drive dimensions, the Momentus XT measures 9. It's Seagate's effort to better blend the benefits of the on-board cache NAND with the capacity of the hard drive, and generally refers to their integration of the cache and hardware components on the GB Momentus XT.
