Hybrid Drives As Fast As Possible

If you're trying to decide between a fast but expensive SSD, and a slower but cheaper and more spacious HDD, could hybrid drives be a good compromise?

Who the hell is Hybrid and why is he driving so fast?

Good guy linus always ending the video with "speaking of"

How a Linus is made as slow as possible

$120 for SSHD. 1TB with 32GB Flash
For $90 you can get a 128GB SSD and 1TB 7200RPM.

I love the WD dualdrive for laptops. You get a 120 gig ssd and a 1 tb hdd. And you can set them up as two different drives in the OS. Plus it only takes up one 2.5 inch slot. I throw them in older laptops all the time, though they have recently gone up a lot in price, I suspect it's been discontinued

I upgraded my Ps4 with an SSHD. Way too good when loading into a match faster than anyone.

I use both an ssd and mechanical drive in my laptop. simply remove the DVD drive and install a HDD caddy in its place. it's still sata 6 gigabit so no bottlenecks

Linus shows a NewEgg screenshot instead of NCIX... I guess he burned his bridges!

[gooselord_prime]

once again Linus saves the day. I freaking love you dude you always have the exact video to explain exactly what I need to know. There's a sale on a 7200 rpm sshd on new egg right now and I was looking to upgrade anyway but wanted to know the deal before buying. Thank you for being awesome.

I'm using the WD Black^2. It's amazing. I got it for around $150 off a Newegg sale. I highly recommend because it has 128GB flash and 1TB HDD.

"all that unfinished fanart" i feel personally attacked

[zacksstuff]

Huh. That's new. "No Views."

[muneerfaizal]

in my country there is a negligible difference in price between SSHD and ssd, a 2.5 inch Sata ssd is just $5 more than a Sata SSHD so it's better to choose ssd over this gimmicky SSHD

Great video. I have always loved the SSHD. It really is a great way to get great performance with larger capacity.

I'm still amazed how hard drive storage came in the last several years. I remember when 500GB was a lot. Then with game consoles all you needed was just a handful of MB for a memory card. Now just 1TB is what I feel is a fair amount for me at least.

[Aimela]

Ah, the "Speaking of segue.
Truly, a classic.

What's good for video editing on a laptop? I mean do you need more ram etc? Sorry if it's a stupid question not to good with technology.

[nictheperson]

I love it when as fast as possible videos are about speed related things. The titles are just so entertaining

[kvbk]

It's too late
But I'm having 1tb sshd firecuda 5400rpm that's came with my laptop
That's the same thing your are talking about right ?

I've had an SSD+SSHD combo for 3-ish years. Works like a charm
