That sounds, too good to be true doesn't it? Unfourtunatly it is, you only get that speed for the most used 100GB of data, which the onboard SSD will cache, This means games that arent played often are stuck on the HDD and games that are used alot are onto the ssd cache.
"Much like competing hybrid HDD / SSD setups, the OCZ Revo Hybrid uses advanced real time algorithms to decide which data will be stored on the hard drive and what will be localized on the solid state portion. Unlike other hybrid setups such as the Seagate Momentus XT, the OCZ solution doesn’t use a small capacity, easily overwhelmed cache which can only boost a limited number of applications. Rather, it combines a 100GB RevoDrive 3 with a standard 5400rpm 1TB 2.5” hard drive. With such a large amount of ultra fast NAND to work with, this drive will be able to boost the performance of even more of your applications and games before resorting to the attached hard drive."
The drive is quite mediocre compared to the high end SSD's in some areas, but in others such as boot times, it exels, nearly matching them in performance.
This is quite cool, though an expensive soloution at £359.99
at this moment, i would save that and get a seperate SSD and 1TB hard drive TBH.
