    Hi Gazza - do some research on Hybrid disk drives. They have both SSD and a normal platter. I put one in my laptop - big improvement.

    The HDD decides what goes where by looking at file usage/frequency. It tries the SSD first, and if it is not there it goes to the HDD. All data is kept on the traditional platter so even if the SSD part goes wrong, the data is still there.

    I use a hybrid drive in my desktop for my boot disk. It has sped up booting. The OS is on the SSD portion.
