I personally wouldn't go for an SSHD for reliability reasons. You essentially have two hard drives in one which doubles the chance of failure.

In an ideal situation like if the SSD portion of the drive failed, it would do so gracefully and still allow access to the data on the platters, but that's an unknown.

If I wanted a SSD for caching, I'd just get a discrete drive for that purpose. It'd only cost a bit more for a similar sized SSD or an M.2 card for motherboards that supported it.
