Hybrid drives aren't really a drive for desktops. For the price of a hybrid you can get a decent SSD. Leave the Hybrids for laptops.

Corrected that in bold. I'd agree with you, but the OP called for 500GB of storage which is why I suggested a hybrid if he was on a limited budget. Then he made it clear he could afford the big SSD, and we kicked hybrids to the curb.
