Real World Labs: Seagate Momentus XT 750GB SATA III Hybrid Disk Drive

Seagate Technology — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:58:10 +0000

As seen in our benchmarks the 2nd Generation Momentus XT 750GB 2.5″ SATA III hybrid drive is not the power monster some of you may had expected it to be but to be completely honest with all of you this was not the intention of Seagate in the first place. The Momentus XT line is mostly meant to replace normal HDDs inside notebooks and offer faster boot-up and load times by utilizing the 8GB onboard SLC NAND Flash memory but that’s just about what you can expect from it.

Seagate Technology — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:01:12 +0000

The Seagate GoFlex Desk 4TB USB 3.0 hard drive delivers exactly what we’ve come to expect from Seagate. The massive capacity could probably store your entire music, movie, and picture collections with room to spare – and with the USB 3.0 interface it can transfer it with lightening speed. The included software is more of a basic solution, similar to Microsoft Backup. If you want something a bit more robust you’ll have to pony up $50 or find another third-party solution.

Scripps News: Compute – Tech gifts for guy with almost everything

Seagate Technology — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 18:20:37 +0000

For some men, another tie or pair of pajamas just won’t cut it as a holiday gift. Allow me to suggest some tech options even your most hard-to-shop-for man will appreciate — and probably won’t have yet.

Instead of getting your guy another Blu-ray disc that already may be in his Netflix queue, consider gifting him with the ability to ditch cable and to stream endless movies and TV shows straight from the Internet to his TV. The Roku 2 XS media player (Amazon, $98) streams Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video, Crackle, HBO Go, NHL, NBA, MLB and more in 1080p resolution. While there are lower-priced Roku 2 models, the XS is the only one with an Ethernet port (to connect high-speed Internet with a cable to your router) and a USB port (letting you play videos, music and more from an external hard drive or other local storage device). While many channels require a subscription, your media-addicted man may think constant access to on-demand video is priceless.
