Hybrid Hard Drives for Inspiron Notebooks.

Offer Hybrid Hard Drives for Inspiron Notebooks. They are currently offered for 3 Latitude models (D630, D830 and D531). Why not offer them on Inspiron notebooks?

Haven't made it that far yet?

So far tests have shown they don't improve things very much if I remember correctly. At least not compared to the improvements shown with SSD.

Why not all of them or all computers on their site? Anyone can buy the drive and put it in, they're just limiting it due to a lack of perspective.

If they can offer it in Latitude models, then they can offer them on other models. I chatted with a sales representative about special ordering an Inspiron 1720 with a hybrd drive and they said it was not possible. WHY?

The hybrid drive is $100 more and has the same performance as a 5400rpm 120gb drive according to the help me more section. http://www.dell.com/content/learnmore/learnmore.aspx?c=us&l=en&ref=CFG&s=gen&~
