I was also thinking of getting a Seagate Momentus XT (for a OS boot drive) because its faster then most of the HDD's.
A coworker gave me one of these after writing up a review. I love it. It's a bit faster than my WD black 320GB drive. No problems what so ever with mine.
A momentus XT is an interesting design, it's basically a HDD with a 4GB cache.
But it won't save the HDD portion of it from being overly slow.
A 320GB drive isn't that fast, the platter density just isn't there. Try a 1TB-2TB Black drive, then you'll see real speed for a HDD.

Once the Momentus XT has been used for a week or so, the Flash storage on it "populates" in the same respects as Superfetch does on Windows - it "learns" what's being accessed most often and caches those particular files. App startup is almost SSD-like for the most commonly used programs, practically instant once the pattern is learned.
Momentus XT will run circles around any modern hard drive including VelociRaptors in some of the most basic hard drive benchmarks out there.
