I am looking to upgrade my HDD to a hybrid drive, specifically the momentus XT.
Has anybody been able to try one of these yet? I have read review after review, watched countless videos, and it seems to be amazing!
The problem is (like with all new technologies) they arent always as good as they seem. I am interested in any input on this topic?
So far my spec is giving me great results, but like many of you I am always looking to see what is better. In direct comparison what is better
a hybrid HDD where it can boot nicely from the SDD or a more high speed SATA like the western digital velocoraptor?
Appologies if this post is in the wrong part of the forum, I could seem to find the right place for it so "Other" seemed to fit nicely.

Moved here, as I think you just want to know if anybody has used it with Linux

Re: Seagate momentus XT
Thanks for sending me to that, very informative about the Momentus XT. As it turns out the root of the problem seemed top be a dodgy firmware update.
Apparantly this has been fixed, which is a relief! Now I still have a choice between the XT and the Velosirapter.
