Seagate Momentus XT SSHD 1TB Hybrid - Got one ?
Ok so I need to more storage in my gigging MBP and from the off I HAVE to have 1TB. I'm swapping out a 750GB/7200rpm and I need the extra space so an SSD is out of the equation.

Also putting a second drive in is not an option so no extra SSD advice please. I need my DVD superdrive. I can only have one drive in this particular machine. I will not put another drive in and use and external dvd.

I was gonna just get a 1TB 7200 drive, probably the Hitachi Travelstar as it has good reviews.
I'm no speed freak, I don't care if Traktor takes 40 seconds longer to start up but this machine is really only used for Traktor (bare that in mind).

I have looked at the Seagate SSHD 1TB and it is 5400rpm and although the spin speed has never bothered me before (have a 5400 in my other MBP and it's fine with Traktor, really it is) will I see the benefit from the Hybrid drive over the 7200 HDD ?

I understand how the SSHD works, it sounds great and as I only use this laptop for regular surfing (this community and the NI community ) and not much else other than Traktor.
Will the SSHD be of any real benefit or... and this is my point will it just load Traktor up quicker and nothing else OR will it give me genuinely better performance with Traktor...???

I don't care about application load time. I just want to know will the 1TB SSHD at 5400 be a better choice than a regular 1TB at 7200 for use with Traktor.

Impart your wisdom please.

Wow that was a long winded question

EDIT: by the way, there is a ton of info on the 750GB Hybrid but barely anything on the 1TB apart from the official Seagate guff and it's impartial user knowledge I'm after not sales speak.
