CHiLL Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I still don't believe that a HDD can bottleneck such a system... I mean even if it's 5400RPM. :/ It might be faster when you use the hybrid drive but the 5400RPM/7200RPM drive probably wasn't really "bottlenecking" your computer. You know what i mean? Limited write/read speed and poor access speeds can dramatically affect a systems performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridwan sameer Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 THis is the first time Im hearing of a Hybrid Drive. How does the mechanism differ from A normal drive and an SSD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I assure you disks nowadays are probably one of the biggest bottlenecks on modern computers. Ive had a very similar experience with system speed, although I went for the RAID option rather than a different kind of disk. At the end of the day everything else has moved on whilst hdd have stayed the same for a good number of years now. The sizes have increase, however the general speed hasn't increased by much, although I appreciate caching has improved somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
