How about a 60GB SSD and a 2TB Caviar Black tied together with this:
HPT RocketHybrid

The product description says you get 100% of the HDD's space and 80% of the SSD's speed.

or you could try one of Seagates hybrids;

You can pick them up for about 125$US, a bit of both worlds...but you can't RAID them.

Looks pretty good. How do they compare to Velociraptors?

couldn't say from firsthand experience, but here's a review that appears to rate them faster.
