A Hybrid Approach For SSD Speed From Your 2TB HDD
Claave writes "bit-tech.net reports that SilverStone has announced a device that daisy-chains an SSD with a hard disk, with the aim of providing SSD speeds plus loads of storage space. The SilverStone HDDBoost is a hard disk caddy with an integrated storage controller, and is an easy upgrade for your PC. The device copies the 'front-end' of your hard disk to the SSD, and tells your OS to prefer the SSD when possible. SSD speeds for a 2TB storage device? Yep, sounds good to me!"
Read it again and look at the pictures. The caddy is the size of a 3.5" drive, in which you install a 2.5" SSD. That is what they mean by a "2.5in to 3.5in hard disk caddy".
AGAIN!? How dare you accuse me of reading TFA. Are you trying to ruin my /. cred?

LOL, nerd fight. Someone call a doctor, they might get a paper-cut.

Good Grief, Alice! They've invented cache!
I'm a Programmer. That's one level above Software Engineer and one level below Engineer.
You are a fucking idiot and can not read.
Clearly, you are the truest source of all wisdom. You are a gentleman of caliber previously unattained. I am not worthy of your kindness, dear sir and I bow to your civility.
Please do not continue to use the Internet, as even a short article is apparently beyond your comprehension.
You have graced us with so much kindness in so little space.
one of the ultimate forms of demonstration of your rank stupidity
Why thank you kindly sir. I hope you could be so kind as to continue to heap praise upon me.
Please destroy your computer now, or at the very least disconnect your computer from the internet so that you do not harm other people with your base ignorance
I am so glad that you devoted so much time to discussing the topic at hand. A lesser man might have resorted to slinging insults rather than actually talking about the (lack of) technical merit of the device that this slashvertisement is dedicated to. I am infinitely thankful to you for being so kind and considerate.
The depths of the technical aspects of this conversation are seldom reached or surpassed these days, I thank you for your immense insight and kindness in this matter.

That's because you might confuse him with other people with low numbers, who only post things and never read anything...

I'm bookmarking your post so I have something, to link to, the next time somebody asks why I prefer the GUI over the command line.
So if you have more data stored on the HD than the size of the SSD, the performance of reading this data will be ever so slightly slower than reading from the HD directly.
Obviously you need a 2TB SSD in order to get the maximum performance gains from the device.
