Well I recently purchased a Lenovo Y580 laptop:

As you can see, it comes with a 16gb SSD. I was wondering, what exactly will this be used for? All I'm really interested in is faster boot/wake up times, I don't really need it to use any programs, but will it do that?
I heard that it is a cache drive, and it "learns" what you use most and speeds that up. But all I really want is the OS to boot up faster and wake ups to be faster.
Is it a hybrid drive, where the drives are together? Or are they separate and the OS is installed on the SSD?
I would really like some help with this guys.
Thanks.
I apologize for posting this in multiple sections. I just really want this question answered.
