So my SSD totally fucking died. It didn't take that long either. Going back to a standard HDD is horrible and I want those SSD speeds back, however I don't want to keep forking out cash for the things, especially with the shitty capacity.
Does anyone have experience with hybrid drives? For anyone that isn't aware of hybrid drives, if the name isn't a giveaway enough, they're basically standard hard drives that also contain non-volatile memory. When working with data on the drive, you'll generally be working with data stored in the ssd-like cache, with the physical moving parts only being needed when the cache is full to shift some data to the platter, or when you require information not currently in the cache. Windows 7 will still store your operating system in flash memory, giving you ssd boot-times.
I've never tried one, nor do I know anyone that has, however it's so much cheaper than an SSD and you get a shit load more capacity.
Does anyone have experience with them? Have you also used an SSD? How do they compare?
Note: I just typed this out and realised it should be in hardware/software. I'm just gonna press post, so a mod or someone move it please

I have to decide on one before midnight. Do you have one? If so, what is it?

Which program do you want remade first?

So with programs being removed from the program manager, they will obviously have to be made again. I figure it'd help give the team a better idea of where to start with a poll.
If there was a program removed that I haven't added, just post it and I'll add it.
Edit: Neopoint Generator removed from list as it's a quick program to make.
