In the process of restoring from images I have had a chance to compare the speeds. Frankly the hybrids are surprisingly fast and nearly as fast as the SSDs. The traditional hard drives are extremely slow by comparison to either the the SSDs or the hybrids. If we have any more trouble with the SSDs the hybrids are the way to go, assuming they turn out to be reliable.
I talked to my SIL yesterday about his SSDs. He said they were all Intel and had no failures, but exactly as you suggested, he said they were only slightly faster than 10,000 rpm hybrid drives. He felt the future was going to be the hybrids just as you said.
