SSD, hybrid or Velociraptor?

[Paul Maddox]

I gotta say, I had a 320g HDD in my MBP and it was always running with around 4 gig of space.
I bough a 128G SSD and worked out what I actually *need*... I still have 25 gig of space..

as has been said, anything I don't need every day, is on an external USB disk, or online.

I bet you don't use 250gigs of disk space, you just carry it.  Russian-doll style means put the fast, small disk as your most-used data, then image the drive into other traditional drives for 'mode of use' as well as backup/safety.  I can easily boot a small games image on my new macbook, image the disk, put a different one back on again for work, and so on .. mostly though I make do with VM's, which for my ultra-minimal use of Windows really only makes sense in context, I suppose.  But anyway, with SSD and so on, use the system well to mirror things and you probably won't notice much difference when the time comes to put new gamedata on the fast drive, and so on.
