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.
It depends on which hybrid you drive and how much you drive it.
