could consider something hybrid"y" then? like http://www.komplett.ie/product/zkb-01opsl/20210500/seagate-barracuda-sshd-1tb-8gb-hybrid/details.aspx

basically 1tb drive with an 8gb cache for programs and files which is a tiny SSD stuck to the side of the magnetic drive. Have 500gb variants of these at the College I work at, they're pretty effective and fast, do lost the ability to turn off your magnetic disks and just run silently from an SSD if you go hybrid tho.

 

also... http://hexus.net/business/news/retailers/13995-komplettcouk-shuts-uk-operations/ possibly bad news for you in the UK there, which is odd since my package from them came through the UK on its way to me.

Dublin, Ireland 03/11/2015 6:00 P.M. Arrival Scan
Tamworth, United Kingdom 03/11/2015 5:37 A.M. Departure Scan
Tamworth, United Kingdom 03/10/2015 1:24 P.M. Arrival Scan
Brussels, Belgium 03/10/2015 4:58 A.M. Departure Scan
  03/10/2015 1:05 A.M. Arrival Scan
Eindhoven, Netherlands 03/09/2015 11:14 P.M. Departure Scan
  03/09/2015 10:44 P.M. Origin Scan
Netherlands 03/09/2015 3:39 P.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS

Would be odd for them not to sell to the UK members from that site?



No worries, I should be able to find that model somewhere if they can't deliver to me directly, I'm not too keen on hybrid drives just yet, maybe in 2-3 more years from now I'll dive into them.

On the bright side PC parts tend to go down in price faster than they used to.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
