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!"
The device takes the form of a 2.5in to 3.5in hard disk caddy with a couple of SATA connectors on the end.
Good job Claave! You apparently didn't even get to the second paragraph before submitting the article. You can't use a 2TB hard drive with this because there are no 2TB 2.5" drives yet.
Good job, GEvil! You didn't even read the article at ALL!
Please point to where it says you must use a 2.5" hard drive. Hmm, you don't think that maybe... JUST MAYBE... the 2.5" caddy is FOR THE SSD so that you can mount it in a 3.5" bay? Then you mount your 3.5" HD as normal!
Gosh... reading comprehension! Learn it. Live it! Love it! Take it home and call it George.
kthxbye
Hence the "Derrr nevermind" post I made six minutes before you posted this diatribe.
This guy's the limit!
Dear kind sir
I suspect we may have read different articles. Your assertion of
You mount the fucking 2.5" drive in the caddy and mount your 3.5" HD where you would normally mount it
Does not match the article when it says
The device takes the form of a 2.5in to 3.5in hard disk caddy
So I thank you for your kind concern of
un a fucking cable from your HD to the caddy. Is this so fucking hard to get a grasp on? For christs sake
And I hope you have a very nice day kind sir.
Dear kind sir,
You are a fucking idiot and can not read. Please do not continue to use the Internet, as even a short article is apparently beyond your comprehension.
You even go so far as to quote the point that refutes your assertion, trying to use it as an example of why you are correct. This is, perhaps, one of the ultimate forms of demonstration of your rank stupidity. 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.
Hence the "Derrr nevermind" post I made six minutes before you posted this diatribe.
Once again, you are full of fail. You don't think that maybe that was written just AFTER you made your uninformed post and PRIOR to when you decided to actually read the article and then post a correction?
Gosh, I dunno... maybe. We aren't in an IRC chat room. I know that's kind of hard to grasp for people with short attention spans, but really... we aren't. This is a message forum, it's not real time.
