So I'm seeing a new trend of fusing a compact flash, or some other solid state to the old HDD or magnetic drives. I'd post links but as a new member I got a message saying that's probably not the wisest.
Regardless, I'm looking to see if anyone is currently using these types of drives and what their thoughts are.
It appears the design is to increase the read speed of an HDD all while maintaining the reliability not found in an SSD . On the surface that seems really awesome. But does the theory hold true in reality.
I'm also very curious about architecture, and how you access the various states. During an install would you choose where your OS is installed or would it be auto to the solid side while everything else defaults to the magnetic side.
I've been doing research on various sites but I can't seem to find a good aggregate of all the information.
Thanks in advance,
Heat
