SSD/HDD Hybrid
Anyone tried one of these?
http://www.ebuyer.com/321969-seagate...ssd-st750lx003 Can see the benefits and it seems quite cheap. Thoughts?

Re: SSD/HDD Hybrid
TBF better off with a seperate SSD and HDD. Were you planning on using the SSD as a boot drive?

Re: SSD/HDD Hybrid
Easier to have a HDD and SSD separate

Re: SSD/HDD Hybrid
I have one of these - a 750 GB - which I have installed in a drive caddy in what was the optical drive bay of my 2009 vintage MacBook Pro. I also replaced the original HDD with a Samsung SSD (128 GB) that is exclusively for the OS files and main apps like Office that are not continuously rewritten; it now boots from cold in about 20 seconds. This drive was recommended as a suitable upgrade for Macs.
As I understand it the hybrid part of the name refers more to the drive architecture than to a separate slice of solid state mass storage that piggy backs on a conventional hard drive. Although it does have flash memory built in the system only sees one drive. Had it since June last year and so far so good. |

Useful in a laptop where you need lots of space and speed. Or if you really really do not want to reinstall windows and it lets you get away with imaging your drive onto it.
