Re^2: OT: SSHDs Any experience? (Thanks to all 3 contributors: Decision made)

Personally I am cautious and would recommend the separate SSD and HDD option.

I concur. (On the quote, and your entire reply.)

The only attractions of the SSHD are: the fit-and-forget, simple install; and the tried & tested, intelligence of the firmware that applies NVRAM caching to any & all workloads that might benefit from it. I was attracted by the idea of not having to continually think about what should reside on the SSD.

However, I've since read this (particularly this & this), and several others, and have reached the conclusion that I would never be satisfied with the results of the hybrid solution, and will be going for the separates.

Thanks.
