While there's lots of coverage of either SSD or tradition HD's around, I'm having a hard time finding anything about how Seagate's new hybrid drive works under Linux. I need to upgrade the disk in my laptop anyways, and am trying to decide if the extra ~$60CAD is worth spending for the hybrid drive VS a regular Momentus 7200.4. I'm doing this for both a capacity and speed upgrade (currently a 320GB 5400rpm drive), so I don't need people recommending a pure SSD that'll be too small and too expensive.
A full-on review on Phoronix would be great - but anyone with experience with the drive under any Linux distro would be very helpful for me in making that decision.
