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.

What is Hybrid operation in solid state physics?
Hybrid operation in solid state physics refers to the use of both semiconductor and dielectric materials in a device to take advantage of their respective properties. This approach can lead to improved device performance by combining the electrical properties of semiconductors with the insulating properties of dielectrics. Hybrid devices are often designed to have enhanced functionality, performance, or efficiency compared to devices made of only one type of material.
