Re: A question about ssd and harddrives
It depends, if the one with the separate SSD has one that's under 64GB or so, it's because the most commonly used system programs, windows core files, and windows updates will stay on that one, so that the experience as a user will be super snappy as if the computer only had 1 large SSD, but the actual transfer speeds to and from the standard drive, which is where all of your personal programs, files, and settings would go, will be quite average.
This gives you sort of the best of both worlds, but it's still not as good as just 1 SSD, since that would give you both high transfer speeds and snappy operation.
If it's bigger than 64GB, say, 128GB or so, then that will let you as a user choose where things go, so windows will be installed by the manufacturer on the SSD, but you can also put your most commonly used personal programs and files, like games, word processors, and web browsers there your self, and then decide to put larger, lesser used f
iles like movies, TV Series, music libraries, and large audio books on the standard HDD, which has more space available.
This will make the HDD last allot longer since it isn't being accessed nearly as much, but for most users, it will feel like you have a full sized standard SSD instead of 2 drives.
A hybrid drive is just a standard HDD that has it's small cash, think of an index for a library, usually 32 to 64MB, replaced with a miniature, embedded 4 to 32GB SSD running at relatively low speeds, which gives you a small performance increase over a standard HDD without having to pay extra for a hole other drive as well.
You won't notice much of an improvement with this compared to a primary SSD or an SSD boot drive, but it's much less expensive most of the time as well, and still better than a plain HDD.
