[dba-Tech] Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid Drive

Hi Arthur,

I installed one in my laptop in November 2010, and have had no problems. It 
really makes a big difference in boot time, and most apps also work faster. 
I can't find my notes on improved boot time but is was significant.

Since I had such good luck I have installed them on at least 3 of my friends 
and all agree it makes a big improvement.  They were all in laptops and 
since many laptop use 5400 rpm and the Momentus is 7200 rpm I suspect some 
improvement there as well.

For what it's worth I recommend them.


Bill

The firm is offering this drive at a pretty good price (currently $118.79)
and it's tempting. Does anyone have any experience with this unit? I'm
thinking it would be great as a boot drive, with Windows and my core suite
of software such as Access and Alpha Five loaded on the SSD part of it.
