Another review of the Western Digital Black2 hybrid hard drive has hit the internet today and this time around it is the folks at TechSpot doing the reviewing.

The Black2 crams both solid state and disk drive technologies into one drive, and does so in the simplest of ways. Similar to what desktop users have been doing for years, the Black2 makes the flash portion a primary boot drive with the disk serving as bulk storage. The difference is that the Black2 only uses a single slot.
 
I was interested until I saw the price. $300! You can get a Samsung 256gb 840 pro for $200. Or the other end of the spectrum gets you a 500gb Seagate hybrid drive for under a hundy (seen for $69 before). Although I swore I would never go back to Seagate, but that's my own personal decision.
