Hybrid Storage
Go to solution
Solved by Captain_WD,
Hey Captain_WD,
My desktop rig has more than one bay. I currently have one 1TB Western Digital Black drive installed.
I would be loading my OS onto the SSD and using the HDD for everything else. Was just wondering if it's a better buy for an SSHD on a desktop.
I wouldn't imagine so. Having two separate drives (SSD+HDD) on a desktop would be what I would prefer. Having your data on two separate drives gives you some safety in case something happens with one of the drives and needs replacement or if you need to simply move it on another computer. Moreover, you have the freedom to choose what to go on the SSD, regardless of how often it's used and you have much more space there while with a SSHD you can't decide what to be cached and you are limited to quite a small amount of fast storage.
You plan seems pretty good (putting the OS on the SSD and use the HDD for everything else) this is what I would do.
Captain_WD.
