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/s interface.
The 2.5-in. drive fits standard laptops and needs only 3.3 W max; with idle power at 1.1 W. The drive uses Adaptive Memory technology to identify data usage patterns and move the most frequently retrieved information to solid-state memory. Boot times are typically less than half that of an pure HDD system. (MSRP, $245 — available now.)
