I don't mean to hijack Russell's thread, but can you mention who=20 makes hybrid drives with as much as 64 or 128GB of SSD cache? I am=20 familiar with Seagate's Momentus XT 750GB 2.5" drive with 8GB cache=20 (I have one) but have not yet found anyone who makes a large-size=20 2.5" drive with more than 8GB SSD cache. I'd love to find a 1TB or larger 2.5" drive with 64GB SSD cache for a=20 rational price - but have not yet found one. Can you suggest some=20 suitable candidates?
