An example of such a hybrid drive is the Apple Fusion Drive. Unlike the previous hybrid drive, this is controlled using an operating system (OS) and not a remote. These two are combine together to create one functioning drive. This consists of two separate drives- one which is a SSD and one which is a HDD. An example of such a device is the Seagate SSHD.Īnother hybrid system is the dual drive hybrid system.

This hybrid device is controlled using an SSHD controller. A solid state hybrid drive (SSHD) combines a relatively smaller but faster SSD with a larger HHD that has more storage space into one device. Hybrid drives are made of a solid state drive and a traditional spinning hard drive and has numerous benefits. The technology in these storage devices uses electronic interfaces along with a traditional hard disk drives (HDD).

A solid state drive (SSD) is a storage device that stores large amounts of data for long periods of time.
