Seagate Introduces the 5th Gen FireCuda SSHDs - Up to 2 TB, 8Gb NAND

I agree. Who is this for? If you need storage, this drive shoots itself in the foot by having crap write speeds that they are clearing avoiding show here because they know its crap. It still has mediocre performance at 140 MB/s average.

If you need speed, SSD. If you need storage, get a 4 TB without this overlapping memory thing. And if you are somehow in a position that a hybrid drive is your best option, they already have drives on the market with better performance and similar storage capacity.
 
Oh my gawd.. It's like Seagate litterally hates me, I've been in serious need of 9.5mm drives larger than 2TB for YEARS, and they just happened to side-step that completely this time. The wait game continues...sigh..
