If you're trying to decide between a fast but expensive SSD, and a slower but cheaper and more spacious HDD, could hybrid drives be a good compromise?

With flash memory sizes and prices of today, do you think some hybrid drives have any real place in the 20s? They could easily include a larger chunk of flash memory with some of the chunkier HDD sizes while remaining affordable. Or is there just no point anymore with the affordability of higher capacity SSDs?

Hybrid controllers like the Marvell HyperDuo are quite nice too. Just stick an old 256GB SSD on it and your huge 4TB HDD will be running like hell. Well, at least that few very important folders with your favorite games. The thing I like most about this solution is, that even when removing the SSD, the data on the HDD remains untouched. That's probably a lot better than SSHDs would handle an SDD failure.

In my experience, most of the time drives come in one of two sizes; 2.5in for laptop HDDs and regular sAta SDDs, 3.5in for regular desktop HDDs, M.2 which are kinda both a size and a connector and the fastest SSDs tend to be PCI-e based. As for 2.5/3.5in connectors they tend to use the same regular sAta data and power cables. Hope my text isn't too confusing.

There's a thought: what if the drive had an 'x' sized solid state cache rather than storage? The two could work together (firmware permitting) almost like a RAID pair. Faster speeds, larger storage, and cheaper prices wthis more solution. Then better speeds can be achieved quicker than the SSHD's learned space assignment. The solid state memory component would work almost like RAM in such a case.

Yep. And they are EXPENSIVE. A decent 1TB SSHD will set you back around 80-90 bucks as of late, while you can get a 1TB HDD and a 120GB SSD for around the same price. You can "cache" the data yourself, score some extra storage, have a backup drive and killer durability, since you use the SSD for a few large files with fast reads and the HDD for smaller files which you don't read as much, and constantly write new files.

The WD black^2 beats an SSHD when it comes to laptop storage. 120GB SSD and a 1TB HDD showing up as 2 drives in one drive bay is cool. It even doesnt automatically add files to the memory, you have the freedom to add what programs or files u want to the drives. (besides the OS that gets put on the SSD)

@GeekTherapyRadio 8 жыл бұрын

If anybody reading this has a laptop with a DVD drive, you can use that bay for a storage drive. So you can have an SSD as the main drive (120GB is $40 now...) and a 1TB hard drive ($50) in the optical bay using a caddy ($10-20 Amazon). But yes, if you only have 1 drive bay, an SSHD is a good option. They cost about $100. You can get 480GB SSDs for $110 now. 240GB for $60. (Microcenter)
