Dear Sirs,
I am Haithem, Electronics Engineer !
I’ll buy a DELL Mobile Workstation M2800, but before lunching Order I need your advice concerning the choice of the hard disk !
I am confused between
1) 1TB Hybrid 2.5in, SATA3 with 8GB SSD Flash Hard Drive.
2) 1TB 2.5" SATA (7,200 RPM) Hard Drive.
(Note: I ignored the choice of SSD because it exceeds my budget)
On the Dell website the exact references of discs are not mentioned so I can’t compare performances!
Can you please give me your advice to make the right choice?
Below you may find Additional information :
- I’ll use the M2800 WorkStation in:
- Word, Excel, PPT, MicrosoftVisio…
- Electronic design automation EDA like Altium Designer, Cadence (OrCAD, Pspice, Allegro PCB design), Electronic Simulation...
- 3D Design Software like Solidworks, CATIA to integrate 3D case with 3D electronics Board, 3D simulation….
- Preliminary configuration:

Hi Haithem,
The hybrid drive will give you slightly better performance and faster boot time. Please take a look at this article for an explanation of the differences.
Good luck with the new laptop!
