Waste of time #

Surprise, suprise. What did they expect - a miracle? 256MB limited to the transfer speed of the drive interface is pitiful. Most decent computers have as much or more spare RAM available for caching - and that is obviously much more responsive. Hybrid hard drives aren't going to make much difference unless the cache is much larger - several GB at least - and can transfer data much faster.
