Hybrid Hard Drives (SSHD)
As the name suggests, a hybrid hard drive is an information storage device that simultaneously uses magnetic plates, such as in traditional hard disks, and faster but smaller solid-state flash memory media.
Basically, there are three types of hybrid drives.
The first technology involves the use of two separate devices, a larger hard drive and a smaller SSD, in a two-drive hybrid configuration. They certainly require support from the operating system, and / or chipset on the motherboard for getting tips on what data to cache on a small SSD.
The second type of hybrid drives was built on the same principle as the first one, only integrated two storage devices in one physical body. They also required support from the operating system. Without support, such devices would look like two separate disks for the operating system.
The third and last type of hybrid drives are real SSHDs. Such devices not only integrate HDD and SSD in one device, but also implement all caching logic with the help of their own microcontrollers. Only this type of hybrid drive is a real SSHD, and can be used in any computer, with or without support for hybrid memory.
If you use a configuration of two separate devices, with a smaller SSD and larger HDD, and the SSD part is out of order, you can simply disable the SSD and continue to use the hard drive as usual (with some loss of speed). But, if the HDD part is out of order, or there is a logical damage (such as a formatted volume or deleted partitions), in order to return your information you will need to compare the programs for data recovery.
If the drive fails due to mechanical damage, you can give the HDD drive (with or without SSD part) to the repair shop, and ask them to save the information from this drive to another media. You can also use signature-based data recovery technology (which is available in tools such as Hetman Partition Recovery) to scan the SSD part at a low level, in order to recover files that can be cached on it. But due to the nature of the hybrid media, your chances of recovering anything other than the group of system files are very small.

Finally, what if you have a real SSHD drive, without any visible separate SSD and HDD partitions, and the SSD part failed? In some cases, you will even be able to normally read the files without having to use the data recovery tool. However, do not continue to use such a device, since for sure you will sooner or later start to appear corrupted files.
