    Thanks HEXUS and Seagate. Any one of these would be a perfect upgrade for my laptop.

    edit: must read the articles properly...the laptop size drives would be perfect for my laptop
    Of course I'm perfect you just need to lower your expectations.

    Re: Win one of eight Seagate SSHD solutions

    I could use a new hard drive. Now all I need is to move to the UK.

    Is having someone to ship the drive to in the UK enough in order to enter?

    well either Seagate has stipulated this , or the etailer supplying them. other competitions have been EU as well , even world wide.

    These SSHDs are great, I have one already; but second one wouldn't go amiss.

    SSHD is a great idea, especially for those who has limited space for another hard drive (be it a desktop or a laptop) without breaking the bank.

    Gah not available for U.S. Oh well.

    I think one of the choices multiple choice answer options should have been "Slightly Speedier Hard Drive".

    Re: Win one of eight Seagate SSHD solutions

    Hmm, would seriously like one of those 2TB SSHD drives to replace the WD Caviar Green in my Windows PC.

    WD Caviar Black (or even Blue) drives are pretty good - got two of those in an eSATA RAID crate on my desk and you can't hear them most of the time. 500GB too. If you don't need huge capacity then SSD is fantastic. That said, I know a couple of folks with SSHD and they're pretty happy - not as fast as a "proper" SSD by a long chalk, but noticeably faster than a normal HDD, even a Seagate one!
