Is it faster than sdd?

SSD is a marketing name. The real name should be SSS (Solid State Storage), and this computer does have that. As far as speed is concerned the most important factor is the interface that is used to get date in and out of the SSS. Apple uses PCie which is the fastest interface their is for accessing this type of storage device.

It *is* SSD. All SSDs are not the same speed, but this will certainly be faster than any platter disk.

I assume you're asking whether it's faster than a conventional hard disk drive. The answer is yes, much faster.

My benchmark using CrystalDiskMark shows its sequential write speed is 12MB/s. That means it meets class-10 requirement.

5400 is actually better (or at the very least, no worse) than 7200 for large files since the heads spend less time bouncing around the platters trying to find your data. Also once you RAID these, which is what they're designed for, they'll be plenty fast enough that you won't think twice about how fast they spin.

Mine is installed in my ps4 and it is much faster than the 5400rpm stock. It boots, sleeps, and shuts off twice as fast as my friends with the stock drive. I'm sure you'd see performance boosts in a laptop or pc

32pro micro sdhc from samsung is just as fast as the built-in card. I got the 64pro and can't tell the difference between the built-in or the 64pro.

I get ~30-40 MB/s via iSCSI (NAS' CPU is maxed...) with all other services disabled, can't comment on SMB performance since I dont use it. These are definitely not the fastest units. (for anyone else reading this, that is megaBYTES per second, not megaBITS)

The only problem with Silverfast software is that it doesn't work on a 64bit system. Neither the Ai or the SE. Seems a bit archaic. I've an 8gig 64bit system so I can process large files. My 6x6 transparencies come in at about 90megs each at a fairly low resolution. Wish i could find another option.

It only has the 1TB HDD. I don't know how much faster it would be with the 16GB SSD cache but it is very fast without it.

The seek time of the drive is independent of the controller. However, any circuit takes time to process. Moving the data from IDE to SATA and SATA to IDE is where the time will be spent. I have not went through extensive research on the speed, but it is a fairly simple circuit so it should not add much translation overhead.

I have the MCE drive. It's much faster than the Apple drive & works better. A no-brainer.

I have one of these set up with standard drives and am able to run two VMs at the same time easily. I assume that SSDs would make it a bit faster though.

4TB drive is the fastest of the bunch since it has more platters than the 2TB or 1TB version. So if you are looking for the fastest non-SSD drive out there, it would be the 4TB version of the WD Black.

An easy way to test that out is to have a 3.0 flash drive and transfer a 2-4gig file (a movie works nicely) and compare the speed. The 3.0 is noticeably faster. I found that the instructions that came with my laptop were not reliable in that regard. I hope this of some help to you.

Yes, but since its optimized for NAS, it will be somewhat slower than a desktop optimized drive.

More storage is always preferred so I'd go with both drives (SSD with the OS so everything is faster and hybrid as a secondary for downloads). An SSD will usually cost more per GB than a hybrid drive but SSD is faster, quiter, more reliable, and less susceptible to damage since there's no moving parts. You can check reviews for the different drives on sites like www.cnet.com to get in-depth information including pros/cons. I have Windows 7 running on the 1GB hybrid drive and it's great!

It's 5400RPM, so access times are "slower" than a 7200RPM drive. It has an 8meg cache vs. a 16m cache. I'd venture to say that neither of these are noticeable to the typical user. It's hot-pluggable SATA II, which are current capabilities. The 7200RPM/16m version is only about $5 more.

Theoretically, it is faster. However, you will need a high quality SSD drive like a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (or larger) to get the full benefit of the Apricorn adapter.
