Im making a gaming desktop, but im stuck with this question. Hybrid IS the cheapest option, but i heard SSD and HDD is more effective in the long run. I have been looking at forum posts about these in various sites but they are around 1-2 yeas old.

I need to have an updated feedback on people who have worked with these kind of things :)!

Hybrid drives were introduced years ago when ssd's were something new and expensive. The hybrid drives never became very popular. When ssd prices dropped consumers lost interest in hybrid drives. I just checked sale prices. Today you can purchase a 240GB SATA 3 6Gb/s ssd for $99.99 USD.

There is a second reason hybrid drives lost popularity. With hybrid drives the operating system, software applications, and utilities are installed on the hard disk drive instead of the ssd. As a result solid state drives were faster then hybrid drives.
