Now that they're affordable, I bought one. Soon I will know just how much my system performance is improved. I will be replacing an SSD, which is maxed out at the SATA I speed of my Lenovo notebook
A mechanical HDD that costs LESS than the pre-flood pricing? UNpossible.

Placed an SSD on my HP and it is fast. I plan to do the same for all my laptops. There is no going back.
This is faster than standard 5400rpm drive but not like SSD. It's more like a good 7200RPM drive and then only for reads. The 750GB version has an 8GB cache, 7200RPM magnetics and does read and write caching. Even that one is still far short of true SSD speeds but it's probably the fastest 2.5", 7200RPM platter based drive around.
I want the 750GB at this price....I don't think that's too much to ask.
