Hybrid drives.
In this (probably short) burst of enthusiasm for computers, and having been made aware just how slow my PC is, I've ordered an i5 board. To keep the existing SSD or just order a WD Black? (very smooth RMA procedure from ebuyer for that RED I mistakenly ordered.)
I noticed a hybrid drive in that supplier's list. Just another thing I didn't know existed. However, I'm not sure I'd want to put all my eggs in one basket despite the drive having a long-ish warranty.
Apart from caching, there was an integral 6 - 8Gb SSD typically. Given that most people recommend a lot more than that for the OS, does this layout make sense? Eggs in one basket, or best of both worlds?
Mmm . . . one drive had five years warranty on the main picture but when probing deeper, showed three.
