Yes. But the memory is used to cache data during normal use. And unless 
you boot every 10 minutes, data used during boot up are threw away from 
cache in aprox. first hour. During boot up sequence you mainly need: 
kernel image, init scripts, daemonds binary. And this files are usually 
left untouched since booting. So during booting you will have useless 
data in drive cache.
But I have none hybrid drive, and this is my quess backed up my 12 years 
exp.
