I had an X25-M in my hands yesterday but RMA'd it to newegg and got the Momentus XT (see my thread). Yes, performance is very good but it only remembers your most used apps. I want consistent speed across the board no matter which app it is. Also, the main reason I am returning is I did not think the vibration was too much until I threw my 5400 Hitachi stock drive back into the machine.
It's night and day difference. So I'm going to Optibay+X25-M it.
Sucks I have to deal with returns and bite the 15% restocking fee on the Momentus XT (and about $12 for cancelling the order for the optibay alternative+ SATA SuperDrive enclosure) in addition to returning the item, but now I know.
Patiently waiting...
Also, I felt the platter stopped spinning and spinned up again a few times, not sure if that's because stuff is loading off the SSD or premature signs of drive failure.

Uh oh...
I am sure you will love Intel X25-M. Too bad momentus XT didn't stand up to the performance.... -
Wow, I have a X25M and a WD 640GB 5400rpm and was about to send them back for a Momentus. Right now I am confused. Is the vibration really that bad? And wouldn't the duel solution drain more power than a single hybrid?

X25-E is better, but at $630 for 64GB, u can decide
Returning Momentus XT, getting X25-M
