2TB HDD or 1TB SSHD?

At first, I was to buy a 1TB HDD. But after some research, I found out 2TB of HDD is more money efficient than 1TB.
Now after some more research, I now see there is something called SSHD, which is hybrid of SSD and HDD. It pushes data to SSD part located inside HDD itself dynamically; which overall improves the performance.

So should I buy a 2TB HDD or 1TB SSHD? Storage is not the problem, money is. 1TB of SSHD is more than the cost of 2TB of simple HDD. :/

Buy a 2 TB HDD then.

SSD vs HDD vs SSHD - Which Storage Device Should You Choose For Your Laptop and PC

SSHD is only useful if it is used for some frequently accessed data(like booting OS or some games) which would be sped up because of ssd cache.However if you are planning on using it as a storage drive then SSHD is of not much use because you are not going to access same data frequently.
