Seagate have released their new notebook drive, but did you notice something? It doesn’t have a larger then normal amount of flash memory. There are currently hybrid drives by companies such as Samsung, but reviews have shown that the increase is negilable.  Why pay more for nothing?
Seagate have the same idea in their head. The Inquirer had a chance to talk to Joni Clark, a senior product marketer at Seagate who believed that hybrid drives are a little way off and flash disk drives don’t offer the performance that was originally expected.
What is Seagate’s solution to this problem? Joni believes its in their upcoming model which “is fast and will blow anything that’s out there today out of the water.” Lets hope that this ground breaking technology will also be affordable.

It is about time Seagate released their 250GB notebook drive. They are only a few months late really. 250GB Momentus 5400.4 is priced a $US165, but considering there is now another competitor in the 250GB 2.5-inch drive market, you can expect everyone to start shredding the dollars. They’re available now.
