They are 2 different technologies. SSD (solid state drive) does NOT have moving parts, SSHD also called hybrid SSD (HDD + SSD) still has moving parts therefore slower. More info

Now adays, we rearely use SSHD on notebooks.

I can NOT get its specs

It has no room to add, sounds like it already has mSATA SSD drive.

Hi. Thanks for your reply. The configuration I have had the following when I first received it in 2015: 

Hard Drive - GNRC, 1TB, 2.5", SSHD, EC1

 

However, that SSHD died in 2019 and I replaced it with a 2 TB drive. What is the difference between a solid state hybrid drive and a solid state drive?

Thank you very much for this information! I will probably upgrade to a solid state drive for the performance.
