      The 750 is a lot better. It's got 7200RPM spinning media, twice the SSD cache space and better caching algorithms for BOTH read and write. This one only caches reads on the SSD memory. I own both.

      On a positive note, this price is lower than the lowest pre-flood price. I believe it might be the first magnetic HDD to do this but I guess this one is a special case. It started overpriced to begin with.
