Bit zippier than a regular HDD, and certainly a good solution if you can't have 2 separate drives

According to the Amazon review here:

it is actually 2 seperate physical drives and will present itself as such to the OS

Or you could just get a 1TB SSD

Isn't this what Apple does with their fusion drives?

Something else to bear in mind with SSDs is that due to the internal multiplexing of flash chips across channels larger ones tend to be faster, up to a point. With the latest drives using bigger NAND devices peak performance is found in the 500GB and above models.
