Dang kids with your terabyte drives! When I was growing up, we had to notch our floppies to get "real storage". But I want five of those drives now...

If they build in functionality like the Apple Fusion drive [^] it would be awesome!

Like every hybrid drive on the market it's still a day late and a dollar short. A year or two ago something similar (64GB flash 500/750 gb hdd) would've been a good option; but now ultra portables generally don't have a 2.5" bay at all and most larger laptops have both one (or more) mSATA/m2 slots and a 2.5" bay. Meanwhile this combo is more expensive than the part tabs sold separately. A separate SSD and 9mm HDD are around $200 vs $300 for the WD drive; and even factoring in that the WD drive needed to use a more expensive 7mm HDD to fit the flash in on top, it's still less than $250 for the parts. If they offered good caching or Apple style hierarchical storage I'd say they still would have a winner for offering KISS improvements; but as two separate partitions it doesn't bring anything to the table.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

I remember the time I left a box of floppies, with data, in the back of my car on a hot day. It melted the disk jackets, but the magnetic media was ok. I spent hours cutting the disk jackets open and moving the discs into good jackets and copying them. Those were the days when I worked for a living.
