Seagate unveils it's new hybrid hard drive. It contains a 4GB SSD with a traditional platter drive. This gives you a boost of speed from the SSD while getting a lot of storage without the astronomical SSD prices. While we wait for NAND prices to come down this hybrid drive offers the most bang for the buck.
Seagate accomplishes the task of merging the two technologies by having the drive analyze what data is used most frequently and storing that data on the SSD portion of the drive. All of this is done by the drive without intervention from the operating system any software.
Various benchmarks say that these drives see a good performance boost compared to traditional drives and are almost as fast as SSD only drives.
