A solid-state hybrid drive (SSHD) combines the features of a traditional hard disk drive (HDD) and a solid-state drive (SSD). It uses a small amount of flash memory to store frequently accessed data, which allows for faster read and write speeds compared to standard HDDs. The larger storage capacity of the HDD component provides ample space for files and applications. SSHDs automatically manage data between the SSD and HDD parts, optimizing performance without user intervention. This technology is ideal for users who want improved speed without sacrificing storage capacity, making it a popular choice for laptops and desktops.
