Seagate readies next generation hybrid drives

The 2.5-inch Momentus XT series will ship with 4GB of fast SLC NAND. In addition, all drives will feature 32MB of cache and they will run at 7200rpm, but they are limited to SATA 3Gbps. It appears Seagate will offer three capacities: 250GB for €92, 320GB for €100 and 500GB for €124. Sounds a bit pricey, as regular 2.5-inch 7200rpm drives are usually 40 to 60 percent cheaper depending on their capacity.
