Two hard drive in one computer?
The normal computer user should always have a primary hard drive and a secondary hard drive. Hard Drive are not designed to last past roughly 7 years and more often then not, they die or become damaged within 5 years of purchase. The 2nd drive should be used as a "backup" to protect your valuable information. The 2nd drive can be "internal" or "external", but it is important to have a drive that saves your critical data/information.

What are the Characteristic of solid state drives?
SSD are hard drives that are almost like SD cards. They are not like the typical spinning plates hard drives. SSD stores data digitally. It also is said to have a lower life span than the spinning plate hard drives. But on the plus side, they're easy to switch out. They're still a new technology, so as we work to perfect it more, one day it may be the better option. Because they're new, they're also more expensive.

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.

How do you select a hard drive?
It depends what you mean by "select." If you mean select as in tell the computer which drive to use, then you would enter its drive letter if in command console mode, click it from My Computer, or type it in (or navigate to it) when loading or saving a file.If you mean to determine which drive you desire to purchase, then it depends on your needs. Here are the considerations:Physical dimensions: You'd want a 2.5" drive if you need to put in in a laptop or other devices that require that size. You'd want a 3.5" drive if you are installing it in a desktop, though you can use a conversion kit to use a 2.5" drive if you needed to.Interface type: SATA is the most common drive type these days, but you might need a different type. You might need PATA (40-pin IDE), SCSI, SAS (SCSI Attached Storage), etc. A few people still use ancient, obsolete drive types such as ESDI, MFM, and RLL. A note to keep in mind about SATA and SAS is that while they use the same data plugs and cabling, they are only interchangeable in one direction. While a SATA drive will work with an SAS controller, an SAS drive will not work with a SATA controller. They are electrically compatible, so you won't damage anything if you interchange them, but SAS drives use a different command set and cannot communicate with a SATA controller. There are also SSD drives (SATA or SAS command set, unless they use something proprietary) which use the PCI-e interface.Technology type: Hard drives can be electromechanical or SSD (solid state drive). SSD drives tend to be faster than mechanical drives. SSD drives use less current and make less noise. However, SSD drives cost more and don't come in as large of sizes.Capacity: One important consideration is the size you want. More is generally better, but you can save a little money if you go with a smaller capacity. SSD drives increase in price as the capacity grows at a much steeper rate than with mechanical drives.Brand: Some users are loyal to a brand. Seagate tends to be one of the better mechanical drives and perhaps a tad faster than Western Digital, though that depends on the exact models compared. Western Digital drives are not bad. However, some have been known for starting problems and resetting for no reason. With SSD drives, there are different brands, and their manufacturers tend to also make memory. In addition to IBM and Seagate, who also make mechanical drives, there are brands such as Corsair, Kingston, etc.Price: If price is important to you, then you'd want a smaller mechanical drive, most likely by Seagate or Western Digital.
