Seems my HDD (5400 rpm 1TB) that came with my 2 year old Dell XPS L502x (Intel Core i7, Intel GPU and nVidai gt525, 8gb ram) is one its way out. I had some errors in the GRUB partition and had to run FSCK manually. I would like to keep the Dual Boot Win7 and Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) partitions.

I was thinking of this Seagate Hybrid SSHD to keep the cost down? Any recommendations?
