I recently saw a 3.5in disk that has both Flash and rotating magnetic
storage in the same box. It seems to implement one drive, so I
don't know how it divides up the two. My first thought was as two
different drive devices in one box, but it doesn't seem that way.

I believe that was 3.5in, and not 2.5in.
