Hi Arthur, Out of curiosity I looked up how these drives work. The SSD portion acts as a non-volatile cache - you cannot direct an app to be installed on the SSD portion. So it's the 750 Gb or 500 Gb size rating that you use to determine which one to buy. The reviews on Amazon or overwhelmingly 5's, so lots of people like it. Good Luck!

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. -- Arthur Cell: 647.710.1314 _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
