Word of advice, Hybrids are junk. You are getting let's say 500 gigs of standard disk storage most likely at 5400 RPM if it is a notebook hard drive, and 8 gigs of SSD storage.

It's a terrible way to drop 130$. Take that money next time and get a 60-120GB SSD, and then a 500GB slave HDD. Might be a little bit more money but it is a much better route to go.
Thanks, it was definitely a better idea then trying to constantly fix/update my old notebook. The hybrid I bought had 4gb of solid state and 500 gb at 7200rpm (Only paid $80). Thats still probably better than the 500gb at 5400 that came stock in the new notebook though isn't it? I have been looking at getting a SSD regardless. Looks like I can pick up a nice 120gb one for around a $100.

You think the hybrid one is fine then? I can even put that in my crappy little netbook I have to maybe give it a little boost.
