Just came across Fred Langa’s site and read a surprisingly thought provoking article that tackles the question of how to best handle those “hybrid” / “fusion” drives.
Personally, I have only purchased one of these drives (a Seagate 1 TB) and that was at a time when the $ per GB ratio resulted in significantly higher costs if one could not afford a full SSD. That being said, it’s always good to have a fundamental understanding of how certain technologies work and in this case, Fred does an excellent job of doing just that. Enjoy the read!
