SSD/HD vs SSD/SSHD vs SSHD combinations
I just purchased a 128GB SSD to install in my PC and then someone gave me for my birthday a 1TB SSHD. I was originally planning to pair the SSD with a 1TB data drive.
I now have several possibilities:
1. Use the SSHD only
2. Use the SSD as the boot drive with a HD data drive (original plan)
3. Use the SSD as the boot drive with the SSHD as a data drive.
So, a few questions…
1. For "normal use" (that is, not gaming, not data intensive uses such as video etc.), does the SSD as the boot drive offer significant performance differences over and SSHD?
2. If I use the SSD as the boot drive, is there much benefit in using the SSHD as a data drive vs. a "normal" HD as the data drive?
