Please tell me that's a flawed test and the drive doesn't really use 50% of an i5-2500's horsepower sitting idle. I guess the selling point here is that the hybrid uses less cpu than two Revo3 480's. 76%...lol Sounds like they need to hit up Xilinx for a hardware controller and ease up on that cpu usage.
Edit: I guess if you have a recent 6 core processor, or multi-processor motherboard this may not be that bad. Dedicate some cores just for the hybrid storage software and run apps on whats left. This is essentially at top of the tech curve at the moment, and requires the same from some of the surrounding components.
