Seagate will reportedly keep making 5,400-RPM mobile hard drives, but the company will push SSHD (a.k.a. hybrid hard drives) as alternatives to the defunct 7,200-RPM offerings. Hybrid drives have been part of Seagate's lineup for a while—we've reviewed some of them, actually. X-bit labs says third-generation offerings will arrive later this year, and Seagate will "position them for performance and capacity demanding end-users."

The hybrid is only useful in some situations. And that doesn't really warrant the higher cost.

e.g. Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid 750GB costs $160 on newegg.com

WD Scorpio Black 750GB costs $90.

And  ...

Maybe market segment only?
I don't think the NAND flash cost too much.
