Notebookcheck says:
... Hybrid means that an SSD cache is additionally integrated in the hard drive. In the case of Toshiba's hard drive, it has a capacity of 8 GB. The SSD is a buffer for write and read access and increases the drive's write and read speed. (...) The actual hard drive features a capacity of 750 GB and rotates with 5400 revolutions per minute. The hybrid hard drive works quite swiftly. CrystalDiskMark recorded a read speed of 146.3 MB/s. This rate is good but not exceptional - Sony Vaio SV-F15A1S2ES Laptop Review, 2013
... The hybrid drive combines a 750 GB hard drive (5,400 rpm) and 8 GB SLC flash memory with an intelligent cache system. However, the effects are hard to see in our standard benchmarks; the average transfer rate in HD Tune is only 64 MB/s – comparable standard hard drives easily manage 85 MB/s and more. The high access time of 17.2 milliseconds does not show any advantages either - Sony Vaio Fit SV-F14A1M2E/S Laptop Review, 2013
