[QUOTE="iggibar, post: 1305427, member: 97843"] I assume you are talking about me? :) Yes, I moved away...far away. WD Black 500gb. Not getting rid of this until it craps out on me. The XT is not a consistent drive at all. I won't deny that it's fast, but consistency trumps speed in my book. The XT would open up a program wicked fast one time, and slow another time, even though it was already opened up previously. WD Black has been very consistent is reliable speeds, no matter what if an app has been closed, or left opened for a long time. I would get rid of it if I were you. The Hybrid part of the XT drive will only get worse because it has no extra space allocated to take place of dead blocks. It will only get slower, and when it starts to slow down, you will really notice it! [/QUOTE]
