What do you mean by "hybrid drive"? You can install to SSD and use the HDD for storage for example. — Pilot6, Jun 25, 2022 at 8:40
do you want to move windows to ssd and ubuntu to hdd? or do you want ubuntu on both. i have a 'hybrid drive setup' myself, i keep / (root) on sdd and /home on hdd. go with that in the custom partitioning. — user1601169, Jun 25, 2022 at 9:08

You have two options for installing Ubuntu on your PC.

Select the Erase Disk and install Ubuntu option from the Installation type screen of the Ubuntu installer. This will install everything on the SSD if you select the SSD as the installation target. After booting to Ubuntu for the first time you can format the HDD as ext4 and use it for storage.
The 2nd option is to install / (root) on the SSD and /home on the HDD.

At the Installation type screen of the Ubuntu installer select the Something else option to do manual partitioning and install / on the SSD and /home on the HDD. New installations of Ubuntu create a swap file in / by default instead of a swap partition.
