[QUOTE="S.SubZero, post: 1632898, member: 51635"] I had the previous gen Seagate 750GB hybrid. It wasn't bad, bootup times were near-SSD speed and it was generally responsive. I think the spinny disk part didn't age well, lots of drives are faster, and may be faster enough to make up for the hybrid storage part. The latest gen Seagate hybrids aren't even 7200RPM, they are only 5400RPM, which seems like a step backwards. They are trying to cache as much as possible intelligently so the disk part isn't as much of a factor in general performance. I have my doubts. At my work we have been replacing all hard drives with SSDs in the pre-Retina MacBook Pros. It substantially improves their experience. [/QUOTE]
