For $10 more, even though I don't need the extra GBs, I can buy a Crucial M500 240GB SSD. It seems like a somewhat comparable drive. Any thoughts? But no problem spending more on the Samsung if it's better than the Crucial 120 GB. For C drive with OS...

Its probably going to be down to the wire between the drives. I love the Magician software that came with it but at that point I'm just be bias.

Hybrid drives are slower. 8GB of Flash, what are you going to do with that. I've tried many Seagates. Dual drive is better but pure SSD why not these days

There is not enough difference to justify the price increase. Adding an SSD to this laptop will make a huge difference in speed, and it is not slow as is. This one for example Samsung 840 Series 2.5 inch 120GB SATA III internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TD120BW

If you do not expect to grow beyond 130gb why not the 256gb 840/850pro. You can always go down if you aren't utilizing the full drive just so you don't drop too low where the disc is almost immediately full or you leave yourself with no room for growth.

Usually the Reseller Kit costs more than a "Bare Drive" because it includes some extra items such as the "spacer" that's in this Kit. However, if they sell a ton of the Bare Drive model, then sooner or later they have to reduce the price of the Reseller Kit to get them out of the warehouse. This looks like a good buy at 149.99 since Intel SSDs usually command a premium price due to their reputation for reliability and a 5-year warranty.

The only issue you will encounter is if you want to use both the 750gb and the ssd, you will have to find a bracket/caddy for it, and not in stock atm, not that expensive though like $20, but hard to get them in stock.

I'm pretty sure that you can replace the 128GB SSD with a larger MSATA SSD. I have not done it myself, but I opened up the laptop and saw the MSATA that's in there. I didn't see any place to put an additional internal drive.

I do not see the point of changing the one it has already for the one you mentioned, because both are hybrids and the hybrids have a flaw when we talk about proper speed. Change for a proper SSD (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MZ-7TD250BW-Solid-State-2-5-Inch/dp/B009NHAEXE/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1373543806&sr=1-2&keywords=samsung+ssd) than it will make a lot of difference on speed (boot up time and every day use). If you need more space, use an external drive for storage.

Hello, Here is a link to model that has the 500gb SSD drive: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ANT5BFC Thank you, Jesse

Ideally you want to go with a ssd/hdd combination. Purchase a ssd (I prefer Samsung Pro series...840/850)large enough for the os and your most frequently used applications. I would say no smaller than 240 Gbs at current prices, but larger would be better (480-500Gbs). Then go with a decently fast 4tb hdd for mass storage (WD black or if speed isn't an issue WD green). I would then purchase a separate external drive for back ups (4-6TBs depending on the size of the mass storage drive you choose). Hope this helps.

The drive works well. USB 3.0 is faster only if the computer being used is too. The drive is slightly smaller than WD, Toshiba, etc. But it is not significantly smaller or faster than a like WD. I think WD comes in 2TB for about the same price.

No, it's not an SSD drive. When I bought mine I checked the price on 1Tb SSD drives on another site and they were $1,300. I think this a better backup drive when you consider the difference in price.

When you can buy a 1TB My Passport portable hard drive for $75, it's pretty hard to justify spending the extra $200 for only 128GB more from Apple IMHO. To me, the advantage of solid state drives is fast read/write times and no moving parts, but for general data storage I think standard drives work just fine. For comparison, a 1TB SSD would cost over $2,000.......

I tried a hybrid drive and it gave me similar performance to a SSD, 10 to 25% in initial load, no diference in between game load time and not much difference in start time. Basically not really worth it. The difference is like 36 sec vs 40 or 55 vs 102 sec.

It's hard to say. While the drive is a standard 2.5" drive it comes with a 3.5" bracket. If the drive in you Mac is 2.5" and uses a SATA III interface I do not see a problem. Hardware such as a hard drive are pretty standard across system types. My final suggestion, to be sure, is contact Samsung support. I think it is well worth it as these drives are the best SSD's on the market.
