Need help deciding what to use in my laptop.

This is what I got: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834215663R

I have upgraded to 8gb ram so far. I just needed for gaming in a trip out of the country for a month. Thanks

Sorry for the late. My response was experience driven rather than benchmarking data. Couple of month ago we have upgraded two identical desktop boot drive. Mine was Samsung SSD 840 and my friend had XT 750 as he needed extra storage too. We both had 7200 baracudas before both on SATA 3 gbps. Now my system with SSD is way faster than 7200 HDD (visible,Pleasurable performance increase). But if I rate my desktops current performance 10 on 0to10 scale my friends increase was 7.5 with XT750. I believe thats better value proposition for desktop.
Now considering you will be using it in laptop its your only choice for good increase in performance. Otherwise you have to put a SSD inside your laptop for booting and carry an external USB HDD for data storage.That will not be convenient.So go for the hybrid drive way as you selected. You can google for more info on hybrid HDD technology use in XT 750.

Thanks for answering. They are both hybrid drives from Seagate. XT750 has a 7200 rpm HDD and 32 mb of cache vs 5400 rpm and 64 mb cache. I was not sure what was better

Well I didn't know that 64mb 5200rpm one. I event i told with 32mb 7200rpm one. If 64GB Solid-state is there it will even better as you are into gaming.
