I can second this. I bought the 500 GB version (currently $115 on Amazon). Boot times and launch times for common applications are much faster compared to a standard drive, but you also have the capacity of a standard drive.

If you have a laptop as your primary machine and need to store music and photos, SSDs with sufficient capacity are prohibitively expensive, which is where hybrid drives are ideal.
