Seagate ST750LX003 Momentus XT 750GB Solid State Hybrid Drive
The Momentus XT solid state hybrid drive combines a 7200RPM hard drive, 32MB of cache and 8GB of solid state SLC NAND flash to add SSD-like performance to any laptop. The Momentus XT drive uses FAST Factor™ Technology (Flash-Assisted Storage Technology) to boot and launch applications within seconds of a solid state drive, but is more cost-efficient because the combined technology leverages the cost-efficiency of a disk drive. Adaptive Memory™ technology intelligently monitors the frequently used files and stores them in the solid state memory for blazing fast recall. The SATA 6Gb/s interface enables the use of the industry's latest and fastest hard drive controllers while providing backward compatibility to SATA 3Gb/s systems. The Momentus XT drive is designed to work in any laptop and is optimized for mobile computing and small form factor PCs to simultaneously run multiple applications like video and photography editing, video playback and computer games. Backed by Seagate's 5-year limited warranty.
What It Is And Why You Need It:


7200RPM drive with 32MB cache
8GB SLC NAND flash
SATA 6Gb/s interface with Native Command Queuing
Boots and performs like an SSD
Up to 3 times faster than a traditional HDD
Works with any standard laptop or PC, with most Operating Systems
All-in-one design for simplicity and ease of installation

How much does that run if you don't mind me asking? Might be worth looking into.

That's not bad. Is it faster than a 10K drive? (I know you really can't get those in laptops, but for a speed reference).
