solid state or hybrid?

A hybrid hard drive will be significantly faster than a mechanical drive. That caching algorithm will store operating system and program files in the solid-state memory, offering solid-state speeds when accessing cached files.

Hybrid drives start on the slow side. When you start using a hybrid drive, no caching will have occurred — so the drive will be just as slow as a traditional mechanical drive. As you use the drive and it learns which files should be cached, speed will gradually improve.

A single solid-state drive — or a solid-state drive plus a mechanical hard drive in a desktop PC, if you have room for both — will outperform a hybrid drive. Everything on a solid-state drive will be as fast as the small cache portion of a hybrid drive. By installing your operating system and programs to a solid-state drive, you can ensure those files benefit from the fastest access times possible. Managing this on your own will likely offer better performance.

The benefit of an SSHD, whether in a PC or laptop, is the fact you don't need any special software or configuration. It works without you having to decide where to store files and programs. If you don't configure Windows to store your documents on the hard drive (see our tutorial here for details on how to move program files from an SSD to a hard drive) it's easy to fill it up to capacity.

Hybrid drives are just a desperate attempt by the traditional mechanical hard disk manufacturers e.g. Seagate and WD, to stay relevant, to delay the inevitable. Once SSD prices drop further, companies such as Seagate and WD can go fuck themselves. :cool:

seems to me that switching on and off PC will wear out your hard disks more than putting it in hibernate mode.
