I have to define some stuff for my operating systems class based on a computer ad, and it says the hard disk capacity is "9-in-1." What does that mean?

That has nothing to do with the capacity of the drive, but rather it has to do with other features that the enclosure supports.

Likely it's referring to a memory card/"media" reader that can accept many different kinds of memory card form factors, such as:
- SecureDigital (SD) cards, including Mini and Micro variants
- Olympus/Fujifilm xD cards
- SmartMedia cards
- Sony Memory Stick, including PRO and or M2 variants
These media readers often sport USB connectors as well so they can accept a USB external hard drive as well.
