About this deal

In the 4K Random Transfers MB/s, the Seagate Gen3 again ranked second behind the Gen2, with the Gen3 at 0.496MB/s and 0.896 MB/s. The Seagate Gen3 also ranked high above most of the competition at 127.1 IOPS read and 229.4 IOPS write, but first place was snatched up by the Seagate Gen2. The Serial ATA interface provides several advantages over the traditional (parallel) ATA interface. The primary advantages include: With any laptop drive, power consumption is an important factor for users. The key sources of power draw get narrowed down to either the bright screen or the storage device used. In the next test, we record the average power consumed over a small range of synthetic benchmarks. For reference, Seagate lists an average idle power rate of 0.9 watts and an active seek rate of 2.5 watts.

Momentus Thin SATA - Seagate

The 3D Defense System™, which includes Drive Defense, Data Defense and Diagnostic Defense, offers the industry’s most comprehensive protection for disk drives.Though there are some key updates from the Gen2 Momentus XT, there are many similarities. Like the Momentus XT, the Seagate SSHD 500GB Gen3 interfaces over high-speed SATA 6GB/s. It also still comes with 8GB of NAND flash, which keeps the price low but, at 8GB, hinders the hybrid from even greater performance. The next profile looks at a file server, with 80% read and 20% write workload spread out over multiple transfer sizes ranging from 512-byte to 64KB.

Easy installation and configuration with true plug-and-play connectivity. It is not necessary to set any jumpers or other configuration options. The new SSHD Gen3 line also gets a naming convention update. The first generation hybrids were called Momentus XT, while the second generation models were called Momentus XT with Fast Factor. Now, Seagate has dropped Momentus family branding altogether, opting instead for the simpler category name of SSHD. To help clarify drive generations, StorageReview will reference the drives on a go-forward basis with the SSHD generation number to help clarify the chronology for consumers (Gen1, Gen2, Gen3). In addition, Serial ATA makes the transition from parallel ATA easy by providing legacy software support. Serial ATA was designed to allow you to install a Serial ATA host adapter and Serial ATA disk drive in your current system and expect all of your existing applications to work as normal.Drive ModelST500LM021 Capacity500GB InterfaceSATA 6Gb/s DRIVE SPECIFICATIONS Standard SED modelsNo SED (FIPS 140-2) modelsNo ATA data-transfer modes s... Condition The Seagate SSHD Gen3 power consumption is lower than the Gen2 in every test but idle, where it is nearly the same. Across the board, the Gen3 made strong gains and saved 0.3-1.2 watts depending on the job it was doing. While not a bombshell, Seagate’s Gen3 model does provide cost-efficient performance and a significantly lower starting price than the Gen2 Momentus XT 750GB. Our benchmarking shows the Gen3 and Gen2 both outperform HDDs where it matters, in our real world traces where the onboard cache can really show its performance benefits. In that case, where data is nicely cached, the new 500GB Thin bests the 750GB Gen2 product by a significant margin. The SSHD serves to satiate the demand of users looking to couple performance gains and storage capacity without breaking the bank – think gamers and media enthusiasts. However, SSHD technology is not a cure-all, which Seagate readily admits; users craving extreme performance will likely desire more than an SSHD provides. Yet, for the market of HDD users Seagate is focused on, the Seagate SSHDs offer users improved performance at a lower price than SSDs.
