About this product

Product Information

The Seagate Momentus XT 750GB internal hard disk drive combines the best features of mechanical hard disk drives with those of SSHD units. This hybrid drive has boot and data processing times comparable to SSDs by way of its NAND flash components. It also has all of the same data storage components and high capacity of HDDs. With an RPM measure of 7200 RPM, you can expect SATA supported transfer rates of up to 6Gb/s. This Seagate disk has 32MB of buffer space in its cache. This big buffer translates into an average seek, read, and write speed of 11.0 and 13.0 ms respectively. The 2.5-inch form factor of the ST750LX003 makes it a practical upgrade choice for laptop hard drive caddies.Seagate ran extensive tests to make sure that desktop systems with 2.5-inch drive bays would access the full 750GB of capacity as well. Apart from laptop and mobile applications, the Momentus works well for high-performance gaming computers and multimedia editing workstations. These machines can use additional software buffers to send recently used information to faster flash memory. The access times for game data or video files working exclusively from the SSD half of the drive would be close to instantaneous.Once the computer gets shut down, each of these buffers writes all of the data straight to the Momentus controller. Engineers from Seagate designed the controller to manipulate data appropriation. It decides which data gets permanently stored in the standard HDD section of the volume and which goes to the SSD portion. None of these decisions will impact the amount of memory the OS uses. Seagate Momentus technology also makes decisions about the way the SSD-like portions of the ST750LX003 handle wear leveling.Individual NAND cells have a limited number of writes, so the Momentus spreads out usage over the entire solid state area. This extends the life of the microchip-based portion of the hybrid drive. All mechanical hardware parts are designed to last as long as the electronic components without performance losses over time. The platters themselves also have a long lifespan.These additional performance tweaks make this a handy second disk for laptops that boot from an installed disk. It's even compatible for RAID technology when it's installed alongside at least one other disk. Windows users can easily configure this drive to work with NTFS. It's also compatible with the ext3 and ext4 file systems used by GNU/Linux system software. It can support multiple partitions if you plan to use both operating systems. Single partitions can take up the entire capacity or a portion as small as merely 8GB. Its design makes it possible to create a 500GB partition for Windows while still leaving more than enough space for a second operating system.Computers allocated to a completely Unix-based userspace can see additional performance gains through use of the extended file system on this disk. It's optimized for use with open-source OS code. This optimization can also work with users of FreeBSD and NetBSD.

  • My awesome Experience dealing with this seller. Always quick shipping and an Eye on detail.

    Awesome Experience dealing with this seller! Always quick shipping and an Eye on detail. The "Seagate Moments ** ST750LX003 ** 750GB SATA Laptop Hard Drive * 7200RPM" hard drive is one of the most reliable, quick and feature packed units from Seagate a system builder could put in use. Just the fact that Seagate tackled the question of "Fast delivery data” mixed into a bit of a quick access SSD drive without actually creating a SSD drive. This drive unit in most likely to supersede drive and the hardware industry into the 2011's without a whimper. Though I have seen a abrupt amount of failure with this unit (referred too but not experienced yet), and reports about problems (unverified in local circles) with this drive but Seagate seems to have that all under control as the manufacturer's data suggest failure rates are minimal below 3% to date. Being a big company one really doesn't know the truth out of hype but I believe I am not gambling on this one! I have installed this type from 500 GB to 1TB and all went well. Just remember the drive will adjust for the random access timing by arranging to the "Top of the List" programs as it finds itself building it's own most accessed programs database to execute a balance in the boot time. Let’s just say this drive "Thinks for Itself" and just gets better at figuring out it's booting routines after it settles down. This line of Hybrid hard drives is in my opinion the very intelligent choice of drives for the flexibility and balance of a Novice to Professional laptop builder! Thank all of you for following my reviews. The disabled warrior guy. R&R Entp.

  • Seagate Momentus ** ST750LX003 ** 750GB SATA Laptop Hard Drive * 7200RPM

    it was used and whiped by the vender, and tested. I have not experienced any thing wrong with it whatsoever. it is sata III hybrid that is faster then what I was using. booting Void Linux and running apps as well as transfreeing files is now qiucker then ever. I have background noise in the rooms I work in but I still do not hear the HDD. the vender that I got this from gets greats marks from me. its worth what I paid for it.

  • Very fast and quiet

    I especially appreciate this drive as it is SSD league fast, having a sustained 110MB/s random transfer rate between it and a SATA III SSD disk and definitely is so quiet that is inaudible.

  • Compatible w my computer

    I have a 13” 2010 macbook pro. My SSD died. I bought a new SSHD that was too advanced for my computer. It was not backward compatible to USB II. After going on a forum I was told this is the one to get. So I did. Its not as fast as the SSD but I couldn’t afford a new one. So this works well for me.

  • Seagate Momentus XT 750 GB Hybrid

    I replaced a standard hard drive with this hybrid ssd. The boot time is more than twice as fast as before and whisper quiet. I'm extremely pleased with the product.

  • So far, so good.

    So far, so good, which is to be expected in the relatively short time it has been in use. No negatives found thus far.

  • Good but not great.

    Has bad sectors, could not load an operating system nor clone one. Otherwise, it is good for storing music and video..

  • Good drive, not as quick as you may expect.

    Drive works okay. Runs a little hot. If you are expecting great performance improvement from this SSHD you might be disappointed, they are not a huge boost over a standard HDD. Maybe 5-7% quicker in some cases.

  • Meets the standards.

    It fits the offered.
