Anyone find any good deals for Black Friday, if so post below.

Amazon.ca has an awesome deal on Wustoff knives. 68% off with free shipping, apparently, the wife's already ordered a couple hundred $$$ worth.

I heard Sears Canada is matching U.S. Black Friday prices (after exchange rates factored in, I think).

anyone know much about hybrid ssd drives. My bro is looking at one 500GB Seagate one at tigerdirect for 109$ for black friday.

I didn't even know there was such a thing until he sent me the link.

They are ok for repetative duties... ie boot up time, CAD / CAM. stuff.

General MS office stuff and gaming... meh... debateable.

I was reading reviews on this... it's still a new and unproven concept. They came out with a Hybrid in 2007, but that concept didn't really work that well.

This new one from Seagate uses an SSD as a buffer, but does not use the SSD as storage or workable space. It only has a 4GB SSD for the buffer, so it's kind of like an HDD with dedicated RAM.

Benchmark tests show slight improvement in read/write times over a comparable 2.5" drive, but it still does not outperform a 3.5" drive. Power consumption and heat improved a bit.

Here's a great deal for those of you w/o a PS3 still.
