Momentus® XT
Powerful, Intelligent, Affordable—Solid State
Hybrid Drive
The Seagate Momentus® XT drive offers hybrid storage
with Adaptive Memory technology, enabling the drive
to deliver higher capacities up to 500GB and SSD-like
performance. The Momentus XT drive is designed for all
standard laptop PCs and is OS-, driver- and software-
independent, making this drive easy to integrate and easy
to use. Adaptive Memory technology enables the drive
to tailor its performance to the user. Whether you are
gaming, editing digital media or crunching numbers, the
performance is optimized and ready for your next move.
Adaptive Memory technology is a Seagate data
management technique that constantly monitors and
quickly recalls data usage and preferences. It places
fi les and data that the user will likely access again and
again into the solid state portion of the drive. When the
user requires the data or application fi le, it already sits
in an instantly accessible location, thereby customizing
system performance for the user. Constant monitoring
dynamically improves overall response time based on
personal usage. You can perform at your best no matter
how you use your laptop PC.
