Thanks. Funny thing, I was just looking at hybrids when you posted LOL. Anyone tried these?

Edit: Testing shows the SSD part of the hybrid is twice as fast as a 7200 rpm and half as fast as an SSD. I have 10000 rpm Velociraptors which will not be as fast as this, but I don't think the difference will be that much.
