   | Hi
 Has anyone tried the Solid State Hybrid drives at all? Was thinking of getting an SSD for my MacBook Pro, but the size I need to replace is pricey - these hybrid drives seem quite reasonable (£69 for a 1TB Seagate).
 
 Just wondered if anyone had any experience on whether they were worth it, or if I should just wait until I can afford a full SSD?? I've read they cache most used files, so is that practical? Can you specify what goes on the SSD part? (i.e. OS, Software etc).
 
 Thanks!
 
 Ben

   | Well, the pricing looks very attractive... If it speeds up my boot up time (painful at the moment) and springs apps open faster I'd be happy.... _________________Blueneck
