Seagate 2.0TB SSHD Hybrid Drive - Any reviews with 2009 Power Mac?

Thinking of installing and setting up internal RAID to speed up operation with Photoshop. Has anybody tried the new Hybrid SSHD drives?

Mac Pro (Early 2009), Mac OS X (10.5.8)

You want 4x8GB or 6-8x8GB of RAM

PCIe-SSD in slot #2 for system and another is slot #4 for scratch

you do not want Fusion drive

you do not need or want an array for anything except maybe scratch

you might want 4x2TB or above (8-16TB) for projects and data in four drive bays.

You might want to update your graphic card (and hardware profiles)

A GTX 770 graphic card or above - assume you run under OS X 10.9
