Seagate is developing hybrid drive technology asa new method to deliver intrinsic HDD benefits, including higher performance, faster boot-uptime, more robustness and higher reliability.These benefits will first be realized in drives fornotebook computers, but future applicationscould extend across the range of markets servedby disc drive products. The Momentus 5400 PSDhybrid drive incorporates nonvolatile memoryinto the HDD. The drive pins the most commonlyused hard drive data onto the nonvolatile cache, reducing access time. Hybrid drives offer manyof the benefits of solid-state disc drives but at afraction of the cost. Hybrid drives require no enduserintervention, since Microsoft Windows Vistaautomatically detects and manages the hybridtechnology in the system.

Detail Specifications

Reduced power consumptionSeagate Momentus 5400 PSD hybrid drives reduce power draw and extend battery life, especially important in mobile applications, by reducing platter spin time.

Faster boot up and resume - Booting straight from the flash cache reduces delay. Likewise, data is available much more quickly after hibernation, since frequently accessed data is pinned to the flash cache before a system goes to sleep.

Greater reliability - Reducing platter spin frequency extends drive life by reducing the mechanical wear of the drive due to power-on hours.

Higher performance in Microsoft Windows Vista - Hybrid technology improves performance in short file reads/writes by utilizing the large nonvolatile cache.
