How reliable are Hybrid drives? For gaming?
Recently I burnt through my third SSD, which lasted about a year. Although it was a cheap 120 GB one, I think I'm done with them until good ones become more affordable or cheap ones become a little less... well... crap.
My HDD is pretty old, going on 7 years, and while it's still going strong it's pretty slow for my needs (I play a lot big, open world games). Thing is, I don't think I'd be gaining much in terms of speed from upgrading to a new HDD, since they don't seem to have evolved past 7200 RPM.
So here's my question, are hybrid drives reliable? Or are they just slightly bigger SSD's?
