This would work in a desktop but you also have other options in a desktop that aren't as common in a laptop.
e.g. RAID
Raid still nowhere as quick as SSD though, but much more reliable
I think the point is, with a desktop you have physical space - so you can have an SSD for the data that will benefit from it, and a normal disk for bulk storage. Whereas in a laptop, you don't have the luxury of multiple disks. That's where the hybrid comes into play.
Also that :)
Well mine turned up on Friday :)
Will be doing a full image on my hdd and transferring it all over.
Will see how much of a difference it will make
whats this full image thing?
does it mean that nothing will be lost or changed on a hard drive swap?
theres a windwos 7 one?
using acronis true image
boot from disc and does a full image to an external drive.
100% exact copy. i've used it a few times
thats brilliant :) might need to look at getting one.
let me know what the win7 rating is for it. if its in the 7's i'll get one.
