Seagate unveils world's fastest hard drive for laptop PCs
New Delhi: Seagate, provider of hard disk drives and storage solutions has unveiled world's fastest hard drive Momentus XT drive, 2.5 inch laptop PC hard drive.

"For notebook PC users looking forward to faster PC performance without sacrificing storage capacity or affordability, now there's an option," according to John Rydning, Research Director for hard disk drives, IDC. "Seagate's new Momentus XT drive is the first storage device for notebook PCs that raises the bar for affordable capacity and performance," he added. "We see the Momentus XT drive as a game changer, a product heralding a new generation of hard drives that combine SSD and HDD capabilities so that laptop users don't have to make trade-offs on speed, cost or capacity," said Dave Mosley, Seagate Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Product Line Management.
