Seagates 2nd generation Hybrid drive was fairly good.
Looks like they are planning a real Velociraptor killer version for their third generation.
It is a 10,000 rpm, 7mm thick, model that incorporates SLM SSD memory.
"In the fall, we will be introducing our third-generation client hybrid drives, which will be in the 7mm form-factor."

Better to just buy SSD and a 5400rpm drive. SSD handles OS, apps and games. HDD takes care of the storage.ces wrote:Looks like Seagate is serious about this

Seagate should focus on catching up to Western Digital on HDD noise levels or get into the SSD market.

+1 for OS SSD and storage 5400er. Why use half speed, when full speed is available?
If you happen to own more than one PC/TV/PS3 etc, then a low power NAS instead of the 5400er HDD gets more attractive, given a suitable network. Mine has his place beside my router, where the little noise it sometimes creates doesn't bother.
