Why can't SSD compression be implemented differently?

SandForce enables it through DVT, but no support in normal usage is the issue. DuraWrite™ Virtual Capacity (DVC): a unique SandForce flash controller feature that extends the available storage capacity for typical data beyond the physical capacity of the underlying flash memory. By...

Give me your tips/pitfalls on using SSHD

OK the first thing to remember is that they are only 5400 RPM, they SUCK once you get a cache miss, which is all the time. Your browser will be fast, sure, and boot time too. Other than that you are computing on a 5400 RPM HDD. Simple as that. I have one, and now i only use it for file storage...

Are Intel 335s/520s in short supply?

They are EOL, so they should be gone soon.

Is anyone else surprised that SATA 4.0 isn't on the cards yet?

It is either 8 OR 16. so 8 is correct as well. And that has nothing to do with PCIe 2.0, as you said. You said the jump came from PCie 2.0 to 3.0, not the addition of lanes (as is the case).

PCIe 3.0 is 8Gb/s. doubling the lanes is 16Gb/s. http://www.sata-io.org/documents/SATA_Express_Article_2012.pdf The increase to 16Gb/s comes from adding another lane.

SATA Express will only be 8Gbps for consumer use, and 12 for enterprise.

F U hitachi 1.5tb drives

LOL. You are obviously new to the caching world. Carry on with your squeals of glee, i would hate to ruin your delusion. Has it occurred to you that test file fits in cache?

F U hitachi 1.5tb drives

Well a good start would be to visit a review site that actually tests the hardware. They present the same test repetitively, its ridiculous. they are a rubber stamp. A 5400 RPM is a 5400 RPM, period. I have used the SSHD, and can speak definitively.

The SSHD is faster lol, yeah right. It is 5400 RPM, and only fast at whatever is in its 8GB of cache.
