HDD vs SSD or HDD/SSD
I am buying new Laptop. My brief internet research did not help me make decision which storage to get. And the hybrid of HDD + SSD complicates matter. I think I'll just opt for what most techies prefer. Which?.
HDD vs SSD or HDD/SSD

Use an SSD and HDD as the system drive and data drive respectively.

I have two laptops that came with M.2 for NVMe SSD and a slot for a SATA drive. I run them with a smaller NVMe SSD for the OS, and a 512 GB or 1 TB SATA 2.5" SSD for data storage. My newest laptop came with 2 NVMe M.2 slots so a 512 GB SSD is in each one.

"Use an SSD and HDD as the system drive and data drive respectively."
So, that's the rationale behind HHD/SSD hybrid, eh?

An SSD works much faster than an HDD, which is cheaper than an SSD.
Don't use an HDD if you want to save power.

SSD uses less power - longer battery life. SSD runs cooler and uses less power so the laptop as a whole stays cooler, less fan running, longer battery life. SSD less susceptible to vibration damage.

Looks like HDD is becoming a thing of the past. Other than cost, any reason why still use HDD?

I would go with all SSD drives. HDD is getting to be part of the past. SSD are reliable and unlikely to break like an HDD if there was accidental hard impart on the device carrying the HDD.
The way I see this is the same logic as upgrades from:
Floppy Disks --to-- CDs --to-- USB Devices
HDD is part of the past.
