Question Hybrid SSD's

Hi Gang

I have been seeing ads popping up that are selling what they call Hybrid SSD HD's.

Does anyone know the in's and out's of these.? They are a good bit cheaper then a normal SSD drives I see.

I get a feeling they are like the so called "green" HD's they came out with, and they don't seem to be very popular, much slower, etc.

Thanx.....Gunny

Hi JDEB

I did.???? WOW how about that. So in other words stay away from them, if you go SS at all go with the normal SSD drives.

Thanx.....Gunny

When real SSD's work so well and the prices are dropping, why get a second best compromise?

Hi David

No I did not have any intentions to buy one I just seen these ads for them, and I thought I would get the low down from the experts.

Thanx.....Gunny
