As its name suggests, the MomentusXT Hybrid combines traditional HDD storage with a tiny amount of SSD (4GB). There is a third way in the form of a 2.5-inch hybrid drive from Seagate. You'll get a major performance boost, but you won't solve your disk space problem. The sad, unpalatable fact is that a 64GB SSD will cost you the same as a 2.5-inch 750MB or 3.5-inch 2TB HDD (around £90-100). But all of these benefits come with a hefty premium attached. SSDs are unbelievably quick compared to their sloth-like rivals, consume less power and are silent in operation, which makes them a perfect fit for MacBooks. You then need to choose between a traditional hard drive (HDD) or the newer, much faster solid-state drive (SSD).
MacBook Airs don't use standard SATA drives - we cover this separately below. The other key consideration is that you pick the right size drive for your Mac - 2.5-inch for MacBooks, MacBook Pros and Mac Minis, and 3.5-inch for Mac Pros. It's important you pick the right type of hard drive for your Mac: that means SATA rather than IDE for all Macs since 2006.
