At the moment I have a run of the mill 7200rpm Seagate but I want a speed boost. I would love the speed of an SSD but since I want capacities of 1TB or more, it would cost me over £400!

So I was looking at hybrid drives but have heard they don't give much of a speed boost. But they are quite cheap at 1TB costing £62.
Then I found a HDD Boost:

you buy a hard drive and an SSD (a small one) and it uses the HDD for storage and the SSD as the cache. In total this would cost about £90 with a 1TB HDD the Boost and a 32 GB SSD.
What should I go for bearing in mind that my mother board only supports SATA 2?
