Are SSHDs any good?
AFAICT the only reason SSHDs exist are:
* Windows has nothing like bcache/l2arc; or * My computer only has one disk bay.
That is, if you have a commodity server, you're much better off buying the HDD and SSD components separately.
(Am I wrong?)
Slightly off topic, I did put one into my PS3 to upgrade the native 128Gb disk to 500Gb. The cache components showed marginal improvement in game load times but only on games that were most played. -- Colin Fee tfeccles@gmail.com
