Mah New PC!

SSD FTBW!!

If your budget stretches to it, I'd definitely recommend an SSD drive. it's the most noticeable upgrade that you can put into your PC. It makes everything go faster :)

Just make sure that whatever SSD you get has TRIM support under Windows 7.

Agreed that you should try and have a separate drive for installing Windows onto. If you can't afford an SSD, get a high speed mechanical drive.

Has anyone seen these hybrid SSD ?

Are they anygood?

Isn't the HD he is getting a Hybrid drive ?

Hey Ion,

Think thats the right one - not hybrid as far as I understand.

Maybe a solid state one day when I actually have a solid job...

doesnt look like your drive is only the mechanical drive.
Dif is the one I looked at was a momentus and yours is a barracuda.... both XT drives

Still like to know how these hybrid drives perform as they don't exactly specify....

I am also starting to look at a faster os drive .....

just as a FYI,

here is a review of the hybrid drives:

Not as good as a SSD but there is differences, would like to see a gaming review tho, how would these compare to say a raptor?
