That's not bad performance - will be interested to see how these price out.

Wow, I really want to see this in a performance tablet. Haswell + WD SSHD Black = some kick ass performance without the SSD premium price.

Well I can promise these black drives are impressive for sure, just wait for the 3.5 versions. These small ones will be amazing for small ultra books.

If they're as reliable as 3.5" drives, not horribly noisy, and come in 1TB sizes at least, then I'll be buying a whole bunch of these for small form factor builds.

I just wonder why they're don't mix both NAND and regular as one huge Hybrid drive.. most of these drives uses large amount of the NAND only as cache, while It's okay and helpful, I guess having the NAND and regular disks works as one big hybrid drive.. imagine 128GB of NAND and one 500GB platter... the OS will prioritize the NAND for demanding files and fast access ( like OS and regular main apps ), and keeps the rest for data files...
almost same concept as Apples new hybrid HDD's in the new MacBooks...

And then you will find that Android does not support that chipset... unless it is the latest version and of course our tablets will never be updated to that version...
In this universe cant have simultaneously the good performance and cheap price.
