Laptops → Seagate’s Hybrid Laptop Hard Drives Coming in 2007

Seagate will begin volume production its laptop-use 2.5-inch hybrid hard disk drives in March 2007. The company expects to first introduce 2.5-inch hybrid HDDs with a 256MB buffer size with 512MB and 1GB versions to be introduced in the second half of 2007, Digi Times reports according to Brian Wickman, president of Seagate for the greater China region.

It was earlier reported that the 256MB version is named Seagate Momentus 5400 PSD. Seagate’s forthcoming hybrid hard drive duplicates the most commonly used hard drive data onto a 256MB non-volatile cache to deliver faster boot-up and resume from hibernation. It is also claimed to provide lower power consumption and higher performance.
