QUOTE(300thecat @ Jan 27 2014, 08:15 PM) I just installed my Intel 530. For optimization, running Intel Toolbox should do the trick right? Is there further stuff that is required? I also ran a benchmark check and my read/write is 432/95 which is a far-cry from the advertised 540/480. is it because I might be using SATAII? SATA II should be the culprit, but I'm not sure that it would drop that much though. Reference: (cr: maximumpc)  |

QUOTE(ronaldjoe @ Feb 15 2014, 03:27 PM) Hybrid drive are not SSD. They are still from good despite of rave reviews. but it's a SSD + a HDD and the Black2 doesn't use the SSD component to cache your frequently accessed files, the SSD component is independent and Windows recognizes it as a partition itself  so IMO, it isn't fair to just call the Black2 a 'Hybrid' drive |

QUOTE(Uncle Ron @ Feb 18 2014, 08:55 AM) But they have 120GB SSD inside Black2 for cache am i right?  That's mean SSD inside Black2 is not function same like Seagate SSHD? So why the price so Expensive one? the 120gb SSD is not used for caching, it is recognized as a separate drive instead. therefore it is more flexible than SSHDs because you can choose what programs you want on the Black2's SSD while in Seagate's SSHD case, the drive will determine which programs you use the most and cache them instead IIRC |

QUOTE(Uncle Ron @ Feb 18 2014, 01:01 PM) I mean for cut loading time... Bcoz sometime i have to wait for long time when my game is loading...  IMO, getting a SSD will improve your overall experience of using your PC. Of course games would load a tad faster but is it a drastic difference? Depends on what kind of HDD you are currently using honestly.. |
