Fast hybrid disk drive stores 750 Gbytes


Fast hybrid disk drive stores 750 Gbytes

The second generation Momentus XT hybrid disk drive features 8 Gbytes of SLC NAND flash and a 750 Gbyte HDD. The drive is nearly 70% faster than the prior version and uses a SATA 6 Gbit/second interface.

The 2.5 inch drive fits standard laptops and needs only 3.3 W maximum; with idle power at 1.1 W. The drive uses Adaptive Memory technology to identifying data usage patterns and move the most frequently retrieved information to solid state memory. Boot times are typically less than 1/2 that of an pure HDD system.
