    Hybrid harddrives make absolutely no advantage. The 256mb of cache does nothing for performance. The 160gb with 8 mb of cache runs the same speed as the 160gb with 256mb of cache.

    Do not waste your money on a hybrid harddrive. Put the money towards a 250gb 5400, 320gb 5400 or Hitachi 7k200
