it kinda makes sense for a larger capacity drive you want some speed on? Probably not as fast as a proper SSD but seems to beat 10k rpm drives which im using? If its the next best thing to SSDs and a lot cheaper why not?

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/hybrid-hard-drive-flash-ssd,3116-10.html
The SSD on the one you're looking at is only 4Gb which isn't really a lot - considering it caches the most accessed files to the SSD part - you'd probably end up with a half to three quarters of the space being taken up by the OS - so expect faster boot times probably. The rest is likely to go on you're most used programs like browsers/steam etc.
I wouldn't expect much of a boost from games or anything that you don't use regularly.
Like the review said - the worst case scenario is you get the speed of a 7200rpm hdd anyway so not really anything to lose there.
Personally, I'd spend double that and get a superfast latest generation 128Gb SSD + 1/2Tb HDD (if you need the storage space) or get a 256Gb SSD (if you don't mind not having the storage space) - can probably get that for about £120.

They don't really hit a price performance sweet spot for me, I'd go for a dedicated SSD and a mechanical drive, gives you much more control over what you want to run quickly.

On a laptop, I'd just get a 256Gb SSD and use an external HDD for backup/storage.

The Hitachi Deathstar in my Revo died and I replaced it with a momentus. Whilst not blown away it does feel faster. Don't expect it to perform straight out the box as it takes the cache a little while to become effective.
Or as Deadly said just get this:

Unfortunately as my motherboard is only SATA 2 it gets bottlenecked by that which makes me sad.

Redry: The access speeds are much more of a reason to get an SSD than the actual transfer rate, don't wait until getting SATA3 before getting one, you probably won't even notice the difference.
On topic: I've not looked for a while but from what I remember from a year ago when I was buying my SSD the hybrids are dodgy and basically not worth having, just get an SSD with your OS and/or most used games/apps and a separate large mechanical for storage, it's not hard to move things between them. Have a look at
this article
as well, it highlights how you can easily copy things to/from an SSD when you will be using them a lot (like say Skyrim has a new DLC and you want to have fast load times, but later you don't need it, but don't want to uninstall either) without worrying about messing up registry.

Could you benchmark your SSD(s) with CrystalDiskMark or AS SSD for me please Deadly? Interested in the performance you're getting on SATA 2.
