Huh... I would sooner expect them to retire the 5400 rpm HDD's.
This could be the result of them wanting customers to shift focus onto on the SSD's and hybrid drives more...
Hybrids however are not the answer (at least not in their present form).
If hybrids had at least 120GB of flash storage (for OS, installed programs and such) and another 500 to 750GB of regular high speed HDD storage, then they would be viable (but right now they are a far cry from it).
This might drive SSD prices down however, but I'm not holding my breadth.
SSD's have been on the market for years now, and their prices are still not down enough to justify them as a viable purchase (at least not storage-wise).
Other than that, we have abundant supplies of raw resources and technology to make them far larger in storage capacity, and in abundance for each person on the planet (actually we can create far superior methods of data storage and speed in absurdly small form factors, but alas, the market toys in technological obscurity because its profitable)
I find this artificial constriction and market manipulation to be absurd.
