A hybrid drive is a single drive that combines a ssd with a hard drive.
You ll end up with a really fast imac with loads of storage.
These seem to mostly max out at about 8gb of ssd but can cost under 100 for a 1tb 8gb model.
I bought it with a 1tb hard drive which i recently considered upgrading to a 3tb hard drive but decided against given the fan control issues with the temperature sensor and the special connector used on the factory drive.

I purchased a 128gb vertex4 ssd from ocz.
My recommendation would be to buy a big capacity hybrid 3 5 drive with the sensor kit to replace the main failing hdd plus a 512gb ssd connected to the second sata to use as the primary boot drive.
