Do i go with the 500Gb Seagate Momentus hybrid SSD for speed ~£100

orrrrrr

750Gb western digital for maximum storage? ~£85

Cannot decide at all, i do feel like 500Gb might just be enough, that's what i was running, (but its true you really do never have enough space i had about 10Gb spare at all times ) but 750Gb in 9.5 form sounds deliciously large (but again i will just fill it with useless crap)...

:(
 
SSD are amazing, yet still very expensive for something decent, also i do need some space on the notebook in question... There kinda ruled out due to this, i would LOVE an SSD in all honesty though :)
 
But that isn't their hybrid tech is it? So its still essentially the same situation i'm in now, well its a little faster i give that, i don't know. I just can't choose :( Trying to stop thinking about SSD at twice the price and a quarter of the volume. I'm really stuck here...
 
Jesus, why is it i try and buy anything i budget, but then spend twice as much? This place is bad bad bad for my wallet... :(

Debating a ~128Gb sandforce/c300 of some sort, but i really don't know if its totally worth it. The laptop its going in only has a dual core SU2300 (peryn) inside, so i don't know how well it'll cope with a massively quick SSD, seems pointless if its a bottleneck...
 
Ahhh i need to think about this a little more, i've got the asus UL30, need to check what i can get away with. Why am i even considering an SSD now, guys what are you doing to me? :p
 
Virt that really puts it in perspective, makes the momentus XT look immense, and price per gb is waaaaay better than the SSD's i'm looking at. Think you might have just sold me man! I won't be doing much on the laptop the same things over and over, but i want those to be fast, which i guess is where the momentus shines!

Cheers guys :)
