Hybrid SSD drive does not seem to be using SSD partition for OS

Just went into disk manager on my Samsung laptop which has a 500gb hybrid drive and I get the following partitions listed.

 

 

I assume it is not using the SSD partition for the OS, which is Windows 10.

I was under the impression that most hybrid drives you don't actually see the SSD portion, it does the that behind the scenes

Indeed. Hybrid Drives don't give you direct access to the SSD bit - it is used as a kind of buffer, where it learns what data is most commonly accessed and stores it there.

 

I use mine for games - so when I start a new game it takes a while to launch, but subsequently, the game launches much faster, for example.

The OS won't "see" the SSD part of the drive.
