Doesn't Run as Cool or Quiet as SSD
Speed boost is not immediately seen
Really only worth it if you boot from it or run applications from it
Limited by performance of the HD when solid state cache not used
Outperformed by other hybrid solutions
Not as fast as SSDs or other hybrid solutions. Benefits don't kick in right away
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.
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
Lacks comparable IOPS operational performance to SSDs

Seagate has updated its hybrid solid-state/electromechanical hard drive concept, and done it well. Pity the price is currently so high, though.Rating:4/...
Abstract: Most of our avid readers of course have at least one SSD in their desktop and laptop, but for large volume storage you're still relegated to conventional hard disks. It's almost become a negative connotation - 'conventional' - and it really doesn't do t...
Abstract: More than two years after reviewing Seagate's first-generation Momentus XT, we're back in the lab with a 750 GB model armed with 8 GB of SLC NAND and a SATA 6Gb/s interface. How does it compare to pure solid-state and hard drive technologies? We dig de...
Abstract: When a little bit of flash memory is good, more must be better, right? Seagate's second-generation Momentus XT hybrid hard drive is out to compete with SSDs, even as it delivers capacities typical of laptop-oriented 2.5" mobile disks. From this point o...
The Seagate Momentus XT is priced at 10,000 + taxes (MOP). It’s a neat performer, as there’s a good balance between capacity and speed. Currently 500GB HDDs for laptops are retailing at a price tag of approximately 6,000 and keeping that in mind, the...
Performances très intéressantes, Bonne évolution matérielle et logicielle, Un gain réel à l'usage, Une évolutivité intéressante
8 Go toujours limitant, Le prix face à la concurrence
Lors de notre test du Momentus XT premier du nom, nous avions été conquis par la technologie de Seagate. Cette dernière permet en effet de combler le véritable vide technologique qui existe entre un disque dur à la capacité importante, mais aux performanc...
