   Haven't seen those on the market or heard anyone still using     
   them.  SSHD seems to be the descriptive term to use to find     
   them.  But, I don't see 1TB 2.5" sizes.  Anyway.. I've commited     
   to my 1TB SSD and I'll stick with it, for now.

   From my readings about TRIM, it's nice to have, but not overly     
   critical since the onboard GC (garbage collection) on recent     
   SSDs are pretty good, and there is often a large portion of     
   extra storage (not reported to the user) that is used for the     
   extra moving of blocks.  And.. the cells can withstand more     
   write cycles than most people need in their lifetime.   
      
   I don't think I'm the last holdout on XP out there (I am more     
   skeptical of installing Win7 on my T60 Thinkpad since the RAM     
   limit has been maximized at 3GB only).  I need to stick with     
   key MS programs.  And, the T60 simply has a very pleasant     
   keyboard to work with.   
      
   The yoo-toob has many examples of people successfully giving     
   their vintage laptops w/XP a new life with SSDs.  If it was a     
   bad combination, I think there would have been plenty of horror     
   stories by now - but there doesn't seem to be.
