    Does these 2 have a huge difference? Hybrid SSD is $50 more expensive, and pure SSD is too darn expensive.

    I'm still tryin to figure out my specs...

    I ended up going with the hybrid 1TB. While I'm sure the difference is not huge, the ability for frequently used items to be thrown into the SS memory is somewhat nice. I will end up switching to full SSD at one point when prices come down and stick these two drives in other laptops.
