Sometimes, combining two ideas together create an absolutely ingenious solution. Other times, you end up with something so pointless, it gets you simply nowhere. The camera phone is a prime example of an ingenious solution. As the saying goes, "The best camera you have is the one you have with you." With the popularity explosion of the mobile phone in the last two decades or so, integrating a camera onto it revolutionized the world in more than one way. On the other hand, I can name some pretty pointless inventions in the past, at least in my personal opinion. One example is the Cadillac Escalade Hybrid. The Cadillac Escalade Hybrid was an epic massive, ultra-heavy, full sized SUV that was neither economical nor efficient. Why would anyone buy a behemoth V8 seven passenger "hybrid", for a price premium of roughly a compact car over a regular Escalade that still consumes a ton of gas, is absolutely beyond me. If you really wanted to save fuel, you can buy a regular Escalade and a lightly used Prius for the same price. Indeed, the Escalade Hybrid was discontinued only after one generation. Today, we will look at another product that combines two ideas into one. The Seagate Laptop SSHD ST500LM000 500GB is a hybrid drive that aims to amalgamate the speed of an SSD with the capacity of an HDD for a price that falls in between. Will it be successful it taking the best of both worlds, or will it achieve neither in the end? Read on to find out!
