They install the same as a normal hard drive. There is no difference at all. They are the same size and plug in the exact same way, making them a very easy upgrade.

What is a Seagate 500gb Solid State Hybrid drive?
A hybrid hard drive is a Hard Drive that has a SSD built into it also. There is currently only one manufacturer that does it- Seagate. The Hard drive is a standard 7200 rpm drive(in flavours of 250, 320 and 500gb) and the SSD component is 4gig. The 4 gig ssd does not sound like much but the impact it can have is enormous. It has some onboard chip that evaluates your running processes and then puts your frequently used ones onto the ssd. I have a mac with a 5400rpm drive. I swapped it out with a hybrid drive and the increase in speed is great. Much much cheaper than ssd's and in my opinion hybrid drives are going to dominate the market for the next few years until SSD prices come into line with current Hard Drives.
When you upgrade your hard drive to an SSD drive is it possible to run your prrograms from your old hard drive or will you need to re-install the games onto the SSD to use?
If you're replacing the old drive with the new one - you'll have to re-install every program - and copy any saved game (and other personal data) onto the new SSD drive.If you're adding an SSD drive as an extra storage device, you can leave all your programs on the old drive - and just move any user data to the SSD. It's entirely up to you as to how you go about it.

Why is an SSD hard drive more reliable under rugged conditions than and IDE hard drive?
ide hard drives are the old, slower, less capacity drives. sata are the modern, faster, large capacity drives. and ssd are the new, MUCH faster, medium capacity drives. ssd stands for Solid State Drive. it has no moving pieces inside. its basically a flash drive but in hard drive form. ssd's are also very durable u can drop them and they wont be damaged. ide drives have moving parts in them therefor the read/write head can scratch the disk easily if it is dropped and if shaked very hard it cna be damaged also. ssd's are VERY expensive though.
Are hard disks flash storage?
No, unless it's an ssd drive, at which point it would no longer be a "disk drive".
Is SSD is internal hard drive or external?
i really dont know help please
What is directly tied to the speed of the computer?
The RPM of your hard drive. A 7000RPM drive is faster than a 5000RPM drive, and an SSD is faster than all Platter hard drives.
How much does it cost to get a new solid state hard drive?
Originally, it was thought that the price of a solid state drive, or SSD, would drop to the range of hard-disk drives. However, the price of the raw material used in the production of SSD is increasing and keeping the cost of the SSD well above hard-disk drives. These prices vary by brand and storage size.
