Newegg has the Seagate ST95005620AS Momentus XT 500GB Solid State Hybrid Drive for $90 - $20 off with coupon code EMCNBNC24 [Exp 8/13] = $70 with free shipping. Features SSD-like performance with hard drive capacity, Adaptive Memory technology to optimize performance, and claims 80 percent faster performance than traditional 7200RPM drives in benchmark scores. Amazon has it for the same price. Thanks, Daktylo!
$70
Amazon has this drive for the exact same price, if there's a benefit to not ordering from Newegg.
Read reviews before purchase. It isn't the best thing since sliced bread.
Good luck with this crap Seagate now that real SSD's are affordable. nofooling is correct, it isn't the best thing out there by far. Hint, there's a reason no other manufacturer jumped on the hybrid bandwagon.
The reviews are actually fairly good, and you'll have a long wait to get a 500GB SSD for $70. If they offer a good deal on the 750GB, I'll buy.
So this thing is gas AND electric?
I have one of these. It does perform better than a regular drive, but not as good as an SSD (in the same computer). It's also a Seagate, so it could fail without warning early on.
