The only advantage is having everything in one form factor.

I honestly wouldn't bother with them. Either save up for an SSD or just stick with a solid HDD, I see no reason to try and half-arse it.

 

WAY better option is having a small SSD, like 60GBs and just using that for your OS, then store the data on a HDD.

Case: Meatbag, humanoid - APU: Human Brain version 1.53 (stock clock) - Storage: 100TB SND (Squishy Neuron Drive) - PSU: a combined 500W of Mitochondrial cells - Optical Drives: 2 Oculi, with corrective lenses.

To be honest, I am yet to see a compelling reason to get a SSHD, like SirRoderick said, you may as well save up for a SSD or get a solid HDD

^ Pretty much. Unless you can only have one drive, there's little reason to go sshd as a ssd + hdd not much more expensive and much better.

SSHD is a great option for my grandfather, it makes his PC faster to boot, he has a single drive with all storage and no hassle with 60Gb OS drive or fancy catch solutions.

 

In laptops that is a good option, if you need storage and faster boot times.
