Although older and lower capacity then some new drives this unit still delivers a punch. The unit delivers high performance thanks to the SATA 300 interface which delivers transfer rates of 3.0Gb/s. At 10,000 RPM and a 16 Mb cache buffer the drive is fast even by current standards. These features mean that the drive is still good as a redundant or secondary drive. This drive is perfect for those that would like to run two operating systems but don't want to dedicated to much space to the alternative one.

As a hybrid product, the Momentus XT competes with SSD drives, offering comparable speeds with higher storage capacities. The hybrid nature of this drive is used in conjunction with Seagate&rsquo;s Adaptive Memory technology to keep frequently accessed data cached, equaling better performance through faster read times. There is also 32MB of drive-level cache, which is essential to this drive&rsquo;s level of performance. The consensus amongst expert reviewers indicates that while this drive does not reach full SSD speeds, it generally outperforms most standard 7200 RPM drives. Seagate recommends this product for performance and gaming laptops, however anyone looking for faster drive performance without sacrificing overall storage capacity should find the Momentus XT to be a useful upgrade. Capacities include 500GB, 320GB and 250GB models.</p> <h2>Features</h2> <ul> <li>2.5&rdquo; form factor</li> <li>500GB, 320GB and 250GB capacities</li> <li>4GB SLC NAND solid state memory</li> <li>7200 RPM spindle speed</li> <li>32MB of drive-level cache</li> <li>SATA 3Gb/s (with Native Command Queuing)</li> <li>Compatible with USB 3.0 and eSATA external enclosures</li> <li>Power consumption: 0.8w (idle), 1.55w (seek)</li> </ul><div style="clear: both;">&nbsp;</div> Mon, 31 May 2010 18:21:50 -0400 http://www.productwiki.com/seagate-momentus-xt/ Samsung Spinpoint F4 http://www.productwiki.com/samsung-spinpoint-f4/ <img src="http://images.productwiki.com/upload/images/samsung_spinpoint_f4-60-60.jpg" border=0 style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;"/><p>The Samsung Spinpoint F4 is a 3.5-inch desktop hard drive, released in mid-2010. This internal SATA 3 Gbps drive is designed to offer higher reliability and better performance in the 7200 RPM category. Samsung accomplishes this with a single read/write head, which contrasts the traditional dual head design. This new design equals 70% fewer moving parts, and a speed increase of approximately 10% when compared to Samsung&rsquo;s earlier 350GB internal drives. Features include Samsung&rsquo;s dynamic balancing technology for reliability and their proprietary SilentSeek and NoiseGuard technologies for quieter operation. The Spinpoint F4 is billed as an eco-friendly product, as it meets all the environmental regulations within the RoHS guidelines.

It is featured as the hard drive of choice in ExtremeTech's <a href="http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,2144896,00.asp">best bang for the buck PC</a>. This drive makes use of the perpendicular recording found on all drives in the Barracuda 7200.10 family. This drive is an excellent value purchase coming in around $90 and effective bargain hunter can find it for $80 or less. At this price point you get a very large capacity drive that delivers excellent performance.<br /></p> <p> Perpendicular recording is a technology first introduced in the 7200.10 line and is succeeded by the second generation version found in the newer <a class="wiki" href="/seagate-barracuda-7200-11/">7200.11</a> drives. Perpendicular recording aligns the bits vertically on the disk rather than horizontally, effectively squeezing more data in a smaller area. This means that hard drives made in such a way can increase their maximum capacity, as well as deliver increased sustained data throughput. The drive head can read more data in a small physical distance.</p> <p><img vspace="10" border="0" src="/upload/images/perpendicular_recording.gif" alt="" /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Figure:</span> Bit orientations for longitudinal recording (above) and perpendicular recording (below).
