Yes folks:

I am selling my Seagate Momentus XT laptop hard drive

-Purchased in December 2010
-Hybrid SSD
-Reason for sale: going after pure SSD (128GB) and realized I won't utilise all of 500GB: my laptop is a business laptop

Asking Price: $700 o.n.o

hmm... Like no one needs a laptop hard drive upgrade....

You will see a reduction in boot times after installing this (do about 4 or 5 successive reboots first)

Price is negotiable. Ownership is now hitting 3 months.

lol. ok so i just replied back....
so i need some advise/help here.....i have an HP6710b laptop wich currently has a 120Gb hdd....i wanna upgrade the hdd without having to re-install....is it possible to do a 1-1 copy of my hdd to this new hdd?
if it is....how?

[Saxito Pau]

I just PM'd you teh reply but I will post in more detail here anyway:

Norton Ghost or Aronis True Image

If you can hook up both laptop drives to a desktop PC with enough sata ports, you can do it. depending on teh amount o fdata yo have to transfer, it will be done in  as  little at 10 minutes and you laptop will boot seamlessly witht eh new drive. If you like, I can assist you with that if you like as I have a boot CD with Norton Ghost

A last note: that Hybrid SSD give best performance benefits with windows Vista or 7.
