SDD Drives.

I am a little confused about the prices and sizes of the current crop of SDD drives available via say Amazon.
The Crucial Drives are around £300 for @ 120gig, but the Seagate 750GB Momentus XT Serial 2.5 inch 7200 RPM 32MB 6GB/S SATA Solid State Hybrid Hard Drive, is @£115 for 750gig ?
Am I missing something here, or are these two drives very different in any way ?

Yes they are. The momentus is a good idea but in practice much, much slower than a real ssd. Those prices are very outdated, scan are selling 120 ssd drives for a fraction of that now.

£85 for a Crucial 128. I'm running one in my Mac Pro and so far no problems.
