Consensus seems to be its not worth the trouble (or $29)

Sorry for bumping an old topic but I've just tried it on my X61 tablet and the numbers look good (5400 rpm HD):

Direct access: 10.11 MB/s
Cache enabled access: 23.53 MB/s
Ratio: 2.33

I think it depends on the speed of the memory port and on the X31 it was seriously slow.

It seems to be a good alternative to getting the Seagate HD hybrid drive, espcially since it runs at 7200rpm -> more noise and more heat.

Do you feel any difference in everyday usage?

Haven't done any timing but it does feel faster overall, especially time intensive tasks like launching Firefox.

Thanks. Good to know.

Could be useful to those millions of PC still running XP.

Cheers.
