I've seen it for notebooks, but i'm wondering to get it for my PC, it say its faster then normal hds, but i wonder if its faster for notebook 5.400 or also for pcs hdd 7.200 rpms. Anyone tried them out on a pc for testing ?
edit : found my answer, not worth for me or anyone using video editing tools, or design work....mostly for common users.

I only use SSD's now. I have been using them since 2008, and exclusively since 2010.
They are the single largest performance enhancing factor to a system that you can perform right now. Having a good-sized SSD as your C:\ and a large SSD or a RAID array of SSD's as your main storage is literally like owning a supercomputer. File I/O is DRAMATICALLY increased, and that frees up your CPU to execute other tasks faster.
It makes a HUGE difference to just about any system.
SSHD's, a hybrid between SSD's and HDD's, will also gain you a small performance increase, but I do not believe that their performance increase is worth the price, or the complexity. Stick to SSD's.

IMHO Hybrid Drives are a Gimmick... As the Solid State Portion is usually so Small (like 8-16 GB), And it's not a "TRUE" Partition, it's an Extension to the Drive Cache. The Software places some system files and the Pagefile/temp folder on the SSD Portion. TBH, The ONLY "Combo" Drive worth it is the WD Black 2, it's Marketed as a "DUAL DRIVE" not a SSHD. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236642Comes with 120GB SSD and 1TB 5400RPM Drive, Transfer Software and Instructions on WD's Site on how to setup so that non essential software is saved to the 5400RPM Drive. Both "Dual Drives" and SSHD tend to overheat. For my Laptop, I run a 128 GB SSD for O/S and 1TB Drive Externally (Velcro'd to the back of the Screen). When I dont need data on it (ie just web browsing etc) I unplug it to save power. I also run a 4GB RAMDrive on the Laptop for TempFolder. My laptop boots up crazy quick and copies data faster than anything I've seen (even my RAID Array). My Next System after my current one will be 100% SSD For sure, if I have no reason to build new I'll upgrade current system to SSD Only.

I thought he was asking about secure shell daemons.

What Skate said. On SSD's, one of the most noticeable single upgrades I've ever made, a lot of bang for the buck if going for a small OS drive.

^ I also took the optical drive out of my Laptop.
