I suspect the reason is that Apple needs real world use data to fine tune its algorithms and get the efficiency of the software right. Thus in 12 months we might we availability extend to more models and system – a bit like Apple has done with its Power Nap feature…

I agree that drive manufacturers are likely going to struggle with implementing these hybrid drives successfully – its the software that does the heavy lifting and they just don’t have the experience in this area…

That is, the number of read/ write cycles before the memory cells start to fail. Not a problem if you back up your data (to hard disk).
