[QUOTE="HelpdeskRules, post: 1253238, member: 203697"] A hybrid drive seems like a 'best of both worlds' option. From what I understand, the way they work is that everything is stored on the hard disk drive. Then what the SSD section does is copy across the most commonly used files so when you access one of those it comes from the SSD part of the drive. SSD drives havent been around for a long time yet so people are a bit wary of them and how long they will last before they start losing data as they only have a finite amount of use. With Hybrid drives in the unlikely event of the SSD section failing, it just falls over to the hard disk. The hybrid is the one I'd go with. :) [/QUOTE]
