So an SSHD is basically a hard drive and SSD in one, which is why it’s called hybrid. It’s a bit like the storage in a USB thumb drive, but much faster.
A solid-state drive – or SSD – is a storage drive made entirely of memory chips instead of the spinning magnetic platters you’d find inside a traditional hard disk. It’s a traditional spinning hard disk with a small amount of fast solid-state storage built in.
