Yes, I have a P2415Q. You are correct in that it will only support 4k @ 60Hz over DP. I was thinking about getting a HDMI to DP adapter, however I don't actually know if the conversion between standards will work for 4k @ 60Hz. I have a feeling that the system will be picky about the conversion, especially when considering how standards like HDCP work. I'm not sure how things like the HDCP standard changes over the display standard... or if I would need some type of active adapter to translate between the two implementations. Edit: Actually, I can't seem to find any type of adapter that would do what I mentioned above... so maybe it is a non-issue? Not sure if it'll actually work, but I'll be purchasing a HDMI to DP adapter to test in the coming days/weeks... None that I've seen seem to advertise working specifically with the HDMI 2.0 standard, so I'm not too confident 4k @ 60Hz is currently possible with a conversion adapter. Edit2: Pretty much every cable/adapter that I've looked at so far seem to only work if you are transferring from DisplayPort to HDMI... and not the other way around. Perhaps the conversion that I want is not possible. More testing will be needed... ---- I guess the use of the word "premium" is what is confusing most people, since it kind of has multiple meanings. The FAQ that I quoted initially seems to use "premium" to indicate a cable that supports the HDMI 2.0 standard... versus "premium" meaning a cable that using flashy materials and selling at marked-up prices. ---- Shouldn't all reasonably-priced HDMI cables be the same? HDMI cables aren't marked with version numbers. From my understanding, all HDMI cables should all be the same, and it is a matter for the device on each end to decide what resolutions and refresh rates should be supported over this cable.

At first, your performance for will probably match the speed of regular HDDs. Only after you start using files with regularity, will the software on the SSHD start caching those frequently used data files. The SSD part of the equation, as people have already posted above are only used as cache. You won't actually be able to selectively choose what is stored on the SSD cache. Hybrid drives are a nice middle-ground if you want lower cost and higher performance for common tasks. These hybrid drives won't help you if are always doing random accesses to your hard drive. The specific Hybrid drive that you are looking at seems to market toward the gamers and those using creative pro applications, so it might have some minor changes to better optimize itself for those type of workloads, but I doubt they make much of a difference in daily use cases.

So I have recently purchased a PS4 Pro for one of the console exclusives that they have released. As some of you may know, the console now supports up to 4k resolutions (with varying support in games). I currently also have a Dell 4K monitor, but unfortunately it only supports 4K resolutions @ 30Hz over HDMI and @ 60Hz over DisplayPort. When connecting the two, I was hoping to have it just work at 4K @ 30Hz, but unfortunately I was met with disappointment. The console would only output 1080p in my current configuration. After doing some research on the internet, I stumbled over this article: http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2016/09/09/premium-ps4-pro-hdmi-hdmi-2-0-cable-needed-for-4k-support/ The article claims that you will need a "Premium HDMI Cable" for 4K resolutions to work @ 60Hz. Obviously, my monitor will not work @ 60 Hz over HDMI, but I was at least hoping to get some type of 4K resolution output. I've seen Linus's video about the $1000 Premium HDMI Cable, however it doesn't really cover much about 4K resolutions and the performance of lower refresh rates. The official PlayStation blog also posted a official FAQ, in which they state: As far as I know, the HDMI 2.0 standard doesn't change the physical cable spec... but from the FAQ answer, it makes it sound like the cable actually matters now. It seems that HDMI does have a certification program for cable manufacturers (see quoted link), but I'm a bit skeptical about if these "Premium" cables are different now that HDMI 2.0 is slowly rolling out. My gut instinct is that this is all just still marketing lies, but I'd like to ask what you guys think.

Yes! I'm enjoying the game so far! The story is getting interesting for what I've played, but I can see how it may be a bit confusing for those not familiar with the Anime/Movies/background related to the game. The game's world is so expansive... I'm having a hard time just keeping to the main storyline. :-) It's quite unfortunate that it's not available on PC though... at least not for a few years... I'd double-dip for this game, especially if they allowed for true 4K on PC. I'm playing on a PS4 Pro and I must say that it's one of the blurrier games that I've played (probably because of some anti-aliasing/blurring filters that they using).
