hybrid hard disk drive

A hybrid disk drive has two levels of cache, a traditional chunk of RAM (Random Access Memory) and a small amount of flash memory, what amounts to a small SSD (Solid State Disk). The caching is handled by the disk firmware without any involvement from the OS (Operating System). The advantage is even if the OS crashes, the cache is not corrupted. For the same amount of money you can get a much larger separate SSD and use caching software.
