Simplified, higher density and more reliable servers make the hyperscale all-flash datacenter more efficient than datacenters based on solid state disk and hard disk systems.
ENGADGET: Fusion-io brings Fusion ioScale SSD to small, speedy server clusters
The flash cache is used to store frequently accessed data providing the fast data response found in solid state drives while the hard disk storage provides low cost storage.
FORBES: New Seagate Solid State Hybrid Drive is Faster and Vaster
Solid-state storage and memory technologies in general use less power than hard disk drives when they are active, and thus there can be power savings if some solid-state storage and memory can be used in a mixed storage technology environment in a way that reduces the spinning time of hard disk drives and thus decreases the power needs of a storage system.
Boasting solid state drive (SSD) like speed and hard disk drive capacity, the new Seagate Laptop and Laptop Thin SSHDs are the most affordable way to increase your laptop performance.
ENGADGET: Seagate ships its first desktop hybrid drive, third-gen laptop models
The TCG standards cover various Self Encrypted Drives (SEDs) such as hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid state drives (SSDs).
Apple, for example, has also frustrated hard-disk drive makers by featuring solid state drives across its line of notebook computers and eliminating spinning disks in the MacBook Air, its thinnest, lightest model.
Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (Hitachi GST) develops advanced hard disk drives, enterprise-class solid state drives, and innovative external storage solutions and services used to store, preserve and manage the world's most valued data.

The device also comes standard with 4GB RAM, expandable to 8GB, and a 320GB 7200rpm hard disk drive, with an optional 128GB solid state drive available.
The "A-Drive" represents the next generation of storage innovation providing capacities of up to 1 TB Hard Disk Drive (HDD) with 32 GB Solid State Drive (SSD).
Currently, hard disk drives offer a more cost-efficient alternative to solid state drives, making them a more suitable option for developing and expanding cloud infrastructures, as capacity matters more than speed.
Commonly called SSDs or Solid State Disks, these devices put NAND flash into computing environments that typically would use hard disk drives, or HDDs.
