My setup includes a 80GB SSD as my primary drive (Windows, software, antivirus... ), one HDD for various stuff movies, muzik, one HDD for work and as My documents and all the waste I get from ze Interwebz. And a second SSD specifically for games only (Crucial m4 256Gb, Can't recommand that baby enough) Really, you should now use a SSD as primary drive and a HDD for the rest. This makes your computer much faster. Btw, has anybody any feedback on hybrid drive (Revodrive), or SSD-cached HDD ? Is it a nice solution ? At the moment, the only big drawback of using SSD alongside HDD is, when you need to access one of your HDD, it needs to start spinning before accessing the datas because it was in idle start cause I wasn't using it. So I've a super fast computer BUT if I don't use the HDD. Anybody as an idea about type of HDD that can stay idle and spinning ?

Hybrid drives are shit, they are not really faster unless it's for quick bursts for a few seconds and not worth the extra cost at all, still produces a shit ton of heat too. Just stick to SSDs and if the power up spin is bothering you with HDDs, turn off the power saving feature.
