Seagate Hybrid HDD
“After examining Seagate’s Hybrid, 320-GB Momentus XT in the CRN Test Center lab, we can say that it’s certainly for real. The drive provides outstanding performance out of the box, and shows us that its so-called Adaptive Memory technology is the real deal. In short, the Momentus is just that — a momentous event for Seagate and a marketplace that wants SSD-like performance at HDD prices.
The 2.5-inch drive itself is built with a 7,200-RPM spindle speed, with 4 GB of SLC NAND Solid State memory (which is where the term “hybrid” comes in). Inside the drive, Seagate has added Adaptive Memory, which it says examines use patterns in the first 4 GB of the drive and maximizes performance of frequently used files.”
Check out the complete list.

Would it be possible to obtain a promotional product to review and confirm it as a product my company would be willing to sell. I have heard good things, but I still have Western Digital as my main product as they have provided products to test/review. I would like to stock your products, but would need incentive on switching my main competitor’s to Seagate.
