A hybrid doesn't (fully) have these advantages.
I have to wonder about how much people expect them to be unaffected by vibration, or bumps. Even though an SSD is a solid thing without moving parts, it still has connectors. They're never an absolute connection, particularly when you look at some of the types of connections, such as used by SATA. While servicing equipment, one of things we'll do is knock on it, like you're knocking on someone's front door. With nearly all equipment that uses plugs and sockets (whether on cables, between large or small devices), you cause interruptions to signals. That can mean corruption of data, or loss of control requiring a reboot. Granted that we're looking for intermittent faults, or loose things that will break off when bumped about. But I do wonder about people who put these things into vehicles, and expect flawless behaviours, because there's no head to crash into a platter. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
