*To clarify my question, I'm planning to install any of those in a laptop*
My notebook's responsiveness is slow. Though it is 1.5 years old, it is still in great condition.I assume this is because of the 5400RPM hard drive. I have a few options
1. mSATA SSD + original HDD(5400RPM 1TB)
2. Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid drive
3. 7200RPM hard drive
But I have a few concerns
1. I don't know whether the mSATA port is 3Gb/s or 6Gb/s. So let's assume it's 3Gb/s, how would mSATA SSD underperform than a 2.5" SSD?
2. Will Seagate have a newer revision of its SSHD line-up by June 2015 (or earlier)?
3. From my research, 7200RPM drives are stopped being manufactured and largest capacity is 500GB. Is that true? Will I still find 7200RPM notebook drives?
4. What would be the most cost effective option?
FYI:
Notebook model: Lenovo ThinkPad E530 (i5-3210M)
I have barely enough money to buy the current Seagate SSHD (1TB), and I have calculated a 120GB SSD would be enough for all my programs, and around 750GB of total space needed for all data (1TB would be the best)
