i recently had problems with my hdd, for some reason i dont know, it was running at 2mbps without being in pio mode, that is the main reason why im going for for an ssd for a christmass pressent, got an intel 320 120gb drive for 1$ a gb.
i have to say, why would anyone want to have an ssd and a hdd combined if you have the space for an ssd and a hdd? i can understand this in a notebook computer where you may not have space for 2 drives, but at the same time, if you are willing to put almost 300$ in it for a drive, can i also assume that the laptop has space for 2 possibly?
i mean i always knew that ssd was faster for boot, but didn't care until i realized that something was going after my hdd and bringing everything to a crawl and it wouldn't happen on an ssd, wouldn't attaching a limited ssd to a hdd defeat this quality of them?
