1.	Solve : Hybrid Platter/Solid State Drives - Are they worth it??
Answer» Anyone know if the Hybrid Platter/Solid State drives are worth buying or wait longer for a true solid state drive? I looked for a hard drive bench MARK that might show where these are better than older platter drives but just shy of a true solid state drive, but havent found anything. This deal here for a 500GB hybrid drive for $99.99 got me wondering if I should get a hybrid drive or not: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=6280178&sku=TMD-500AS4&SRCCODE=WEM2725BY&cm_mmc=email-_-Main-_-WEM2725-_-tigeremail2725 If its just a older style platter type drive with a large cache pool its probably not worth it, but if it has other benefits for solid state storage where as a portion of it for gaming can hold a video game to run like a solid state, and be told SOMEHOW that the lesser performance data be placed on platters that would be SWEET. But I am sure this is not the case.Hard to SAY. I will wait. Because I am broke. No hay dinero. Your tube: Search results for: Soild State Hybrid
