A
A drive that has a SATA interface as well as one other
B
A drive that has both HDD and SSD components
C
A drive that can be used with Windows or Mac OS
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In computing, a hybrid drive (solid state hybrid drive – SSHD) is a logical or physical storage device that combines a faster storage medium such as solid-state drive (SSD) with a higher-capacity hard disk drive (HDD).

Detailed explanation-2: -A hybrid hard drive (HHD), sometimes known as a solid-state hybrid drive (SSHD), is a mass storage device that combines a conventional hard disk drive (HDD) and a NAND flash module. An HHD blends the capacity, cost and performance of physical disk storage with the accelerated performance of flash.

Detailed explanation-3: -A hybrid hard drive (SSHD) is a storage drive that combines the large storage capacity of an HDD, with the faster read/write speed of an SSD. A hybrid hard drive is, for the most part, a hard disk drive-there’s a spinning disk and an actuator arm that writes data onto it.

Detailed explanation-4: -It’s also known as a hybrid hard drive. An SSHD is a device that is designed to give you the best of both worlds by combining flash memory storage and HDD storage into a single device. SSHDs have solid-state storage built in but also use HDD technology as a way of providing additional storage space.
