Hey guys

Just thought I would pass this on if you havent seen already. Seagate brought some new drives that are 80% faster than the 7200rpm drives. Half SSD half mechancial.

I thinking of getting a 500g check it out. Price isnt bad at all 149CDN for a 500g. I know a 7200 500g is 69 and a 640g is 94 CDN money

Anyways checkout let me what you all think

newegg has them for 129.99

www.newegg.com

seems like pretty good technology. I'll wait for them to get bigger before I get one though. I'd likely make an external out of it.

The reviews don't look that great. Wait until they put more technology and performance into them.
