The few remaining spinning drives I have that I'd use as a boot drive are Seagate Barracudas - they're 500gb hybrid SATA drives, a standard SATA drive with 4GB of cache stuck on the side. They boot up like a normal drive, but once the cache fills up, feel like halfway between an SSD and a SATA drive with regards to speed. They were a nice compromise between speed and cost before SSD prices came down. .... Where is the center of the maze? --- MultiMail/DOS v0.52 * Origin: realitycheckBBS.org -- information is power.
