I have an older computer that uses a 32GB SSD as cache. Does this computer have something comparable?

This computer came with only a 500GB 7200 RPM hard drive. However, there is an expansion slot for you to add an SSD if you are interested in going that route.

It works as a caching device for your mechanical hard drive.Since SSD is faster, anything that the computer can get from the SSD drive instead of the mechanical hard drive is faster and so speeds up your computer.The SSD is 32 GB and most mechanical hard drives are 500 gigabytes to several terabytes. So the data the computer is using the most at the time is being constantlyswapped out between the mechanical and solid state drives. Hope this helps. The slower your mechanical hard drive is the more performanceincrease you will see.

That depends on the model you get. Some model editions have the hybrid with the SSD cache. For the models with the SSD, it is a hybrid and not two separate drives.

This has the 32MB cache memory which can help increase performance during read/write operations. I could not find any mention of cache for the GF3B3000U.

Yes, if the SSD drive is large enough to hold the contents of the old drive. This is exactly what I did with my upgrade.

I don't think it would help you much. It works by copying the most used programs to itself to speed up launching those programs. Things like your web browser, email client, word files, etc. If you have those on an SSD, they are already faster. Think of this drive as an extra 32gb of ram, to preload programs to.

Cache buffer size is 32MB on this, I think it's 2 or 4 times of original one.

I wouldnt! I think it is used for cache and is software and hardware based. You would probably waste it. You need to look further but I though about buying a 256GB SSD for $120 on sale and replace the 500GB spinning drive with the new SSD and let it still cache if it likes I guess??? not sure lol.

1 TB hard drive with an 8gb solid state drive for quick start up and almost instant loading of frequently visited sites, also known as express cache. Its fast!

A regular 2.5 sata from an old laptop can work. But the ssd gives fast boot times

Seems it is not possible unfortunately, but since there is a good SSD(128Gb), you will face a good performance even with only 4Gb RAM, and I think you also can use a Super Speed USB Pen Drive as a ReadyBoost to extend cache...

No, Hyper X SSD only comes with SSD, an installation tray, screws, & warranty/manual. In regards to ExpressCache software, its not really necessary. However once you install the SSD simply go to Kingston Hyper X website for more information & drivers. Most ExpressCache options can be found in your PC's BIOS menu anyway.

I would recommend you go to the crucial web site and use their tool to match their memory with your computer.

I bought that computer for my son, he loves it, no problems. Unfortunately I don't know what a ssd drive is, nor does he, so I can't give you any info on that.

I don't. But if you are serious, you probably want to upgrade to 16GB of RAM and replace the hard drive with SSD. Also find a way to cool down this laptop (with a serious cooling pad, not toy cooling pad), so this super powerful i7 CPU can overclock itself automatically to its full potential. (otherwise it will throttle itself preventing overheat, if you reach around 87 degree C)I can confirm 16 GB of RAM and SSD will work for this laptop. I am not sure 32 GB of RAM though. Will try next year when the RAM cost goes down. :DGood luck shopping.

Current I have a 125gb ssd drive. 500gb ssd was not available when I purchased it. I suppose you could put one in.

Yes, provided the SSD has as much space as you need. I moved the data folders (documents, pictures, music, etc.) onto a standard hard drive, then cloned just the operating system and most-used programs onto the SSD. That gives fast boot and response from the SSD, but cheaper bulk storage on the standard hard drive.
