You now remember SSHD hard disk drives
>>107570651So a regular hd with tons of cache?
>>107570651Can you ssh into them
>>107570651i still have a couple
>>107570651I now remember Intel's horrid attempts at SSD caches for HDDs.
>>107571244Don't they all have a cache? my wd gold 8TB has 256MB cache
>>107571345that's dram
>>107570651>Product warrant is void if [...] drive experiences shock in excess of 350GsIs there any scenario where someone looks at the remains of a drive that went through 350+ Gs and goes "Mhhhhm, yes, I'll ask for a replacement through my warranty"?
>>107571623Knocking two HDDs together with any amount of force is hundreds of GsDrops on hard surfaces are thousands of Gs
this is what I thought SSDs were when I first bought one and PCPartPicker didn't tell me that i was being rarted
>>107571650uh no
>>107571690Gs are acceleration, not how destroyed something is.
>>107571650>whoops I dropped my 1lb hard drive 3ft onto the floor>it lands with a force of 1000g's>i am instantly blinded and deafened by the sound >the shockwave throws me backwards and through the window>it punches straight through the floor >it strikes my downstairs neighbor, instantly killing him>keeps going until it reaches the basement >eventually stops after penetrating three feet of concrete >the rest of the building sways and then collapses >the support columns were all damaged by the initial shockwaveNow we finally know what happened to WTC 7.
>>107570651I bought a couple 500GB 2.5" models as a novelty, I wonder why they never took off.>>107571244Didn't RST require a program to be installed in Windows? It should have been implemented in BIOS.
>>1075729091000gs is the deceleration of the HDD from hitting the floorDoes nobody know what G forces actually are?
>>107572955I'm gonna blast your asshole with 1000g's of force from my cock
They made sense when SSDs were new because a proper SSD was thousands of dollars. You would put your things like apps etc on the ssd part and games on the HDD part. It was pre "everyone has 1TB nvme ssds minimum"
>>107573062nvm I'm mistaken, it was just a cache. I never actually had one I was too poor when they were around and had a traditional hdd
>>107573062>You would put your things like apps etc on the ssd part and games on the HDD part.I've never used a SSHD, but are you sure that's how they worked?I always assumed the OS sees it as a single standard HDD, and the SSD part just existed on the firmware level, being used as a fuckhuge cache.
>>107573082nvm didn't see this before posting >>107573175
>>107573175>>107573062Both existed at a pointWD had a proper HDD+SSD that where separate but required special drivers iircMost "Hybrid" HDDs did just use something like an 8gb/16gb cache.
>>107572955The whole fucking website is being filtered by a basic IQ test capcha. You should lower your expectations.
How did they work? I wasn't dumb enough to buy one of these and try them out.Was the SSD and HDD part exposed to the host as a single drive? Because I know for sure that you'd need SAS to have multiple devices over a single cable and good luck finding a consumer motherboard with a SAS controller.
I stopped buying Seagate after two of these died on me. Meanwhile I still have working 500GB WDs from 15 years ago.
>>107573268It was a fuckhuge cache, like >>107573175 said. At that scale, the controller is most likely to detect most OS files as the most accessed ones, so it would be mostly/entirely Windows/Linux
>>107570651Man I was hype for these, till I found that the WD Velociraptors were still faster than this.
>>107573268It's exactly like modern HDDs are right now with 256MB cache. But that's DRAM. Instead of using DRAM, you're using some of the first generation SSDs with terrible read and write speeds in place. So, sure you'd have a 10GB cache for burst speeds, but it was still pretty slow compared to DRAM burst speeds. The WD Velociraptors ironically were still faster than the SSHDs.
On imacs they were called fusion drives and something went wrong and they were uncombined so i had to learn some terminal commands to recombine them
>>107571684was it fast tho?
>>107570651>1000 GBBut how big is the flash part?>>107570720Difference is normal disks use DRAM cache and either don't use it as a write back cache, or have enough capacitor charge to write out anything that it's already told the computer is written. SSHDs can write stuff to flash and not immediately commit it to disk.
>>107570651I still have a ST2000DX002 for backup
>>107572909>force>of 1000g'slmao retard
You know remember windows readyboost
>>107570651anyone remembers this? it was such a good piece of software.
>>107578322>remember windows readyboostI'm using it, work at some cheap company, my pc is ancient and hdd based tho unlike >>107578506 eboostr readyboost makes almost no difference.
>>107575665i was forced to use one of these at work and it was so bad that i went through the horrid process of trying to get bootcamp to run off of an external ssd.it works but i am in fucking trouble if it breaks, i swear that it got sprinkled with fairy dust at some point and thats the only reason its functioning.
>>107572955>>107573251>someone makes an obvious joke>the most blatant joke possible>fart-huffing autistics aren't capable of comprehending what jokes are and instead nitpick technical inaccuracies and pat themselves on the ass for being so smrt
>>107570651Never forgot Seagate hdd die
>>107571650Are you retarded? Drop onto a hard surface from 1 meter is probably ~200g, worst case scenario. You'd have to throw it to get thousands.
>>107582298Is fucking everyone else?Hard surfaces have minimal deflection. You might get a 1mm stopping distance. With a final drop velocity of 5 m/s, that's close to 1000gs
>>107570651I still have a 2TB firecuda from probably 2015I just treat it as one of many backup drives that see two hours of use every few months. Even when I did use it as intended, I never really found it impressivethank you for reading my blog
>>107570651>>107571244I almost completely forgot about Optane. I saw some computers on shelves briefly with HDDs and Optane. But it was a very transitional product now that almost all laptops are shipped with SSDs.The only way I can see something returning is if AI datacenters cause SSD prices to shoot up as well.
