looks pretty good.. will defo look at one soon
Anyone used one of these yet?
Considering it as an upgrade to my laptop, without going too over the top and going to a full 500gb SSD
Looking at one of these -> http://cgi.ebay.com.au/2-5-Seagate-M...ht_4040wt_1139

Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
just not convinced with these which is why i bought a proper SSHD although for 120 gig it cost $245 but the difference is quite pleasant
Don't bother, go full SSD instead plus some 2TB on eSATA for mass storage. I have installed a few hybrids in notebooks. While faster than plain hdds they're nowhere near an SSD speed wise and could still fail due to mechanical shocks or overheating.

i have about 4tb+ on network storage, i dont use a desktop anymore.
i dont have any use for one.
my laptop has a 500gb, and i dont want to lose and capacity as i use a fair bit on it (currently sitting at about 55% used)
so dropping to a smaller drive isnt an option.
i dont care about failure, i image my entire drive once a month and back up on a weekly basis.
just want something faster without going to a full SSD

I was thinking of getting one of these to replace the 160gig 5400rpm drive in my laptop, as I'm running out of space and I don't run a wireless server/NAS.
SSD is too small, unless you have $$$$
500gigs for $120 seems reasonable..
It seems to load up quicke after learning a few times...
Downside is batter life... seems to use alittle more power than a normal 7200 drive
MY07 Golf GTI DSG
Volvo XC60 T6
Ex- 2003 Astra SRI Turbo
will be defin getting one looking at those numbers
im never away from power for any length of time

I would get one for sure, especially after seeing the results against a raptor....
none. servers for a home are a waste imo
I just have a Netgear Stora plugged into my router. has 2 x 1TB HDD in Raid in it. Then I have a MyBook Mirror Edition (2TB) and 2 x 1TB drives all running off the Stora.
Then have 500GB in my laptop and another 1.2TB in my now dead desktop.
Can log into the stora anywhere in the world if I need anything, easy as
