    I'm waiting for either the 750GB version or the WD Black2 to come down to $150. Whichever does first, gets my money.

    Woot! Finally, somebody made a hybrid drive worth buying! Although a bit too late to the game IMHO considering mSATA and M.2 NGFF drives are becoming popular with connectors in most newer PC's coupled with a 2.5" drive bay.

    I wanted this four years ago!

    Yes I do. I like to try out new electronics every year and some times can't get rid of my old ones fast enough. Some times I wish I could've been a tech reviewer/writer.

    I'd probably wait until the 850 series are pushed out, I anticipate there will be further price cuts to sell off remaining inventory. Or I could just be dreaming...

    Just picked up the WD Black² for less than half that amount and I don't need speed for storage.

    I wish to God WD would provide Mac software that exposes the spinning hard drive.
