Dissapointed.

  • Summary: This is the problem: buffering. Sure, you've got this SSD section to work from, but putting the information on that portion of the drive apparently takes FOREVER.
  • Pros: It's bigger than what I had before. Once information is buffered, it runs decently.
  • Cons: This hybrid technology is totally bogus. I have used this drive for DJing with Ableton Live and video editing with Adobe Premiere and Vegas.

  • Pros: Fast.
  • Cons: Unstable. After 4 months' moderate usage, the hard drive lost my extended partition completely. I tried to format it, but the very end block became inaccessible. I did...

  • Pros: Shiny
  • Cons: The drive is 9.5 mm thick so it will not work in laptops with "thin" (7 mm) such as the Lenovo x220. I wish I would have known this prior to ordering it. Now I have a ...

  • Summary: Newegg what's all about the misleading information like this product - I'm sure if you test it between the Momentus XT 750GB 6Gb/s & Momentus XT 500GB 3Gb/s you will have

Big speed boost with one major flaw for Mac users

  • Summary: My initial experience with the ST750LX003 model of the Momentus XT was positive. It replaced a dead 500GB 5400rpm drive in my 15" MacBook Pro.

Warning: Not Compatible with FileVault 2

Edward Teach, Newegg
16 November 2012
  • Summary: The drive will cause an error if you attempt to enable FileVault 2. However, you will then also be unable to revert to FileVault 2 being completely disabled.
  • Pros: Fantastic speed improvements over the 5400 rpm drive that shipped (and died) with my MacBook Pro.
  • Cons: The major con with this product is the lack of compatibility with FileVault 2 on Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) and 10.8 (Mountain Lion). Whole disk encryption is a requirement ...

  • Summary: It beeps for about 15-20 seconds and my computer will not respond but the mouse will still move.
  • Pros: I bought this to replace my aging Western Digital Raptor that is only 69 gigs formatted. It boots about 2 seconds faster but that's it.
  • Cons: I bought this on 07/24/2012 and it stated dying today on 10/29/2012

Good performance but unacceptably noisy
