SSD + Hard Drive = OCZ RevoDrive Hybrid

Oh, to have the lightness and speed of an SSD, but with the capacity of a hard drive! OCZ, the mind-reader it is, has made a component that will offer up to 1TB in HDD space, and up to 120GB in SSD.

They haven’t yet worked out if the PCI Express x4 card will have a 5400rpm or 7200rpm drive, but the possibility is there at least, with the SSD acting as a cache for the HDD. It should be on sale in July from $US350 for the base-level 60GB SSD/500B HDD option. [TechReport via ZDNet]

    Me thinks it would be a little redundant to use 5400rpm instead of 7200!!

    Seagate already did this with the Momentus XT model.

    Won’t the weight of the HDD cause issues with the card sticking out of the PCI slot?
