It's a fair tradeoff: Afforability and higher capacity for slightly lesser performance than a completely flash-based typical SSD drive. Typical SSD's cost $0.15 per Gigabyte, whereas a Hybrid SSD for your Apple computer costs a fourth of that. Offering some tradeoffs in speed of a full-blown SSD, they make up for it in VERY AFFORDABLE extra capacity. They incorporate up to 8GB SSD flash memory combined with high-speed 7200RPM spinning platters to deliver the Best-Of-Both-Worlds storage performance. Their latest generation of 2.5" SATA III hybrid FireCuda drives now up the capacity to 2TB with improved controllers and firmware. Market with their Momentus XT series - initially in 250 to 500GB capacities. Seagate was first to enter the Solid-State Hybrid SSD Drive
