On Wednesday, Seagate announced its first hybrid hard drive that uses flash memory: the Momentus 5400 PSD. It incorporates 256 MB of flash memory that serves as a fast cache for booting and saving data. When booting the PC, the operating system loads data from the flash memory first, speeding bootup times and negating the need to quickly spin up the drive, a power-consuming process.
