Seagate Technology launched it’s first hard drive that combines traditional data storage and flash memory storage. The Seagate Momentus notebook drive has 160GB traditional storage as well as 256 MB of floating storage. This follows rival Samsung Electronics hybrid drives released last month. The new drives will sell at a premium of 30% above the equivalent old technology hard drive. Seagate claims that the new drive will boost performance by 20% and increase battery life by an additional 25%.
