Hybrid hard drives (SSHD) and data recovery. Hybrid hard drives: are they worth buying? Install windows 7 on a hybrid hard drive

Hello admin! I want to buy a 1-2 TB hard drive, one computer geek I know advised me to buy an SSHD drive (a hybrid of a hard drive and an SSD), since it works noticeably faster than a regular HDD, but is not as expensive as solid state drive SSD. What can you say about such discs?

Hello friends! Very good question. Yes, the SSHD (Solid State Hybrid Drive) hybrid hard drive is 30% faster than a conventional hard drive, and about the same amount more expensive. If a regular 1 TB hard drive costs 4,000 rubles, then an SSHD can be bought for 5,400 rubles. The following discs are available for regular computers, and for laptops.

Firstly, What is a hybrid hard drive?

The technology for the production of hard drives (the only computer component that has moving mechanical parts) has long reached a dead end and it is almost impossible to increase the performance of a hard drive through production, which is proven by the appearance of solid-state drives on the market. SSD drives and SSHD hybrid hard drives. But if a solid-state drive is a completely non-mechanical storage device based on memory chips, then a hybrid hard drive is, first of all, a regular hard drive with an MLC fast flash memory card (8 GB capacity) soldered onto it, used in the production of solid-state drives. that is, it turns out that SSHD is a hybrid of a regular hard drive and an SSD..

Secondly, why is an SSHD hybrid hard drive faster than a regular hard drive?

Seagate SSHD hybrid drives use self-learning technology - Seagate Adaptive Memory, which examines the operating system installed on the disk from the first seconds of operation, as a result, the most frequently used programs and files are copied to the flash memory of the SSHD disk, such files include, first of all, the elements involved in loading the operating system, which means that Windows will be installed from the second or third time boot faster, because Windows will be loaded from flash memory. For example, on my computer Windows boot 8.1 installed on a regular HDD occurs within 35-40 seconds, on an SSHD - 20 seconds, on a regular SSD - 15 seconds. The same applies to applications you constantly use; they will launch a little faster. Let's take, for example, a resource-demanding computer modern game, which you constantly play, according to my observations, such a game will load three times faster than on a regular HDD.

Hybrid SSHD hard drive is the golden mean

In general, the ideal drive configuration option is system unit For a typical home user, it looks like this: you buy two drives, the first is an SSD (volume 120-240 GB) for installing the operating system, and the second is a regular HDD for storing files (volume) 2-3 TB, you need about 10,000 rubles for all this . And if you purchase one 1 TB SSHD hybrid drive, it will cost you 5,400 rubles, and a 2 TB SSHD will cost you 7,000 rubles. Of course, everything won’t fly (as is the case with an SSD), but maybe you don’t need such speeds. A hybrid SSHD drive is coming out, this is the golden mean - for little money you get good performance and large volume disk space.

Which SSHD to buy

Until recently, SSHD hybrid drives were produced by the company that developed them - Seagate. There are currently three Seagate Desktop SSHD models on the market with capacities of 1, 2, 4 TB.

Seagate Desktop SSHD ST1000DX001 1 TB

Seagate Desktop SSHD ST2000DX001 2 TB

Seagate Desktop SSHD ST4000DX001 4 TB

Also, recently Western Digital began to produce SSHD, but they are few on the market, and the model that I came across - WD Blue SSHD, WD40E31X with a capacity of 4 TB, was no different in speed characteristics from the similar model Seagate ST4000DX001 4 TB.

In today’s article, I suggest you consider the Seagate Desktop SSHD ST2000DX001 2 TB model and here’s why. If we take the Seagate Desktop SSHD 1 TB model, then 1 TB of disk space is no longer enough for a modern computer user. If we take the Seagate Desktop SSHD 4 TB model, then on the contrary, not everyone needs a large volume of 4 TB of disk space, and its price is quite high (11,500 rubles), and what is also important is the spindle speed of this drive: 5900 rpm, that is, it is slightly slower than other SSHDs with a capacity of 1 and 2 TB (spindle speed 7200 rpm) and this will certainly affect the performance of the operating system.

So, I persuaded you and we have a model in front of us Seagate Desktop SSHD ST2000DX001 2 TB

Upon closer inspection, the Seagate Desktop SSHD ST2000DX001 2 TB hybrid drive turned out to be an ordinary hard drive, only it says SSHD on it.

Disk space - 2 TB

SSD buffer capacity - 8 GB

Cache memory size - 64 MB

Spindle speed - 7200 rpm

On the back of the drive we see a special printed circuit board Adaptive Memory, with 8 GB of fast MLC memory and a “hybrid” controller soldered.

It’s very easy to install the drive into the system unit.

SMART hard drive in the CrystalDiskInfo and Victoria program.

The hybrid drive is new and has been used for 0 hours.

Read and write tests

To make sure that our disk is really good, let's perform several tests on read and write using special programs: CrystalDiskMark 2.0, ATTO Disk Benchmark and SiSoftware Sandra. These utilities will sequentially read and write information to our hybrid disk in small blocks, then show us the result.

CrystalDiskMark 2.0

The simplest and most frequently used program in this regard, you can download it on my Yandex.Disk

The utility is very simple, select only the desired drive letter (in our case E:)

And press AII, the SSHD disk performance test will begin.

1. Test of sequential reading and writing of large blocks of data;

2. Test of random reading and writing in 512 KB blocks;

3. Test of random reading and writing in 4 KB blocks;

I can say that the result is very worthy, especially the recording in 512 KB and 4 KB blocks.

ATTO Disk Benchmark

Let's test the hybrid disk with another program - ATTO Disk Benchmark.

Select the drive letter of the SSHD hybrid drive and click Start.

Result.

SiSoftware Sandra

A global program capable of diagnosing all computer components and having its own official rating.

As a result, our disk is ahead of 94% of the results. Excellent performance.

Disadvantages of SSHD

In my opinion, the only disadvantage of the SSHD is the small amount of built-in flash memory 8 GB, it would be great if its size increased to 32 GB, then more running programs would be placed in the solid state cache and the performance of Windows would be exactly the same as if it was installed on the SSD.

In this article I will tell you what it is hybrid hard disk, why it is better than the HDD we are used to, as well as the pros and cons compared to SSD.

For most ordinary users, I will now reveal a big secret - the weakest (read slow) link in the chain computer system is HDD or hard drive. You may have the fastest processor, the best video card and a ton of RAM, but a slow and, excuse the expression, “dumb” hard drive nullifies all the work of this cool hardware.

This was the case until recently. Now there are SSDs or solid state drives. They helped get rid of this bottleneck in computer performance. Many people use them as their main boot disk for the operating system, which is very justified, but the high price and small amount of memory does not make it possible to use them more widely.

Production hard drives a very complex technological process, since it has many moving parts, which greatly limits the reduction in the size of devices without losing certain characteristics (which is probably why so many modern hard drives fail now). Manufacturers find themselves at a technological impasse. There is no room to further increase the capacity of disks and their density.

To solve this problem, solid-state drives were created, and in 2007, Seagate developed the world's first hybrid hard drive or SSHD (solid-state hard drive). This physical device data storage, which intertwines data storage technologies of the 60s (hard drive on magnetic disks, HDD) and modern times (SSD drives on).

In general, this looks like an ordinary hard drive with significantly increased flash memory. The first samples had 128MB, but now there are models with 32GB.

The result is a very interesting and practical product. It inherited a large capacity from a regular disk, and a large, one might even say huge, data cache from a solid-state drive.

Speed ​​parameters or HDD and SSD vs SSHD

The process of increasing the speed of the operating system and applications using such hybrid drives is as follows:

After installing the operating system on a hybrid hard drive, the first boot will occur at normal speed, but after several reboots, the time will decrease due to the device's microcontroller entering the most frequently used operating system data areas into a large cache. Tests have shown that booting a system with an SSHD is only 5-10% slower than a regular SSD. The same will happen with various applications, games, etc. The main thing is that the disk has enough flash memory for everything you need.

In late 2011 and early 2012, speed tests showed that hybrid SSDs with a 750 GB HDD and 8 GB cache were slower than SSDs in random read/write and sequential read/write, but faster than HDDs when running applications. and turning off.

The size of the cache memory significantly affects the cost of the final product. Therefore, when choosing a drive, you must take into account how resource-intensive applications you are going to run on it and their number.

At the heart of hybrid drive technology is deciding which data elements are prioritized by flash memory and which are not. Therefore, SSHDs can operate in two main modes:

Automatic mode or self-optimized

In this mode, the hybrid hard drive independently makes all decisions related to data distribution and does not depend on the operating system.

Host-Optimized Mode or host-hinted

In this operating mode, the Hybrid SSHD enables the extended SATA "Hybrid Information" command set. Based on these commands, operating system and device driver, given the structure file system,decides which data elements to place in NAND flash memory.

Some specific features SSHDs such as host-hinted mode require software support in the operating system. Support for host-hinted operations appeared only in Windows 8.1, while patches for Linux kernels available since late 2014. They are expected to be included in the Linux kernel in the future.

Historical reference

In 2007, Seagate and Samsung introduced the first hybrid drives: Seagate Momentus PSD and Samsung SpinPoint MH80. Both were 2.5-inch and had 128 MB or 256 MB of flash memory. The products are not widely available.

In May 2010, Seagate introduced a new hybrid product called the Momentus XT drive and used the term " Solid State Hybrid Disk (SSHD). It includes 500 GB of HDD memory with 4 GB of integrated NAND flash memory.

In April 2013, WD introduced 2.5-inch WD Black SSHD drives, including 5 mm thick SSHDs with 500 GB of regular memory and flash memory in sizes of 8 GB, 16 GB and 24 GB.

Pros and cons of hybrid HDDs

The main advantage of a hybrid hard drive, is a significant increase in disk subsystem performance, especially in netbooks and laptops, where hard disks less productive and you cannot install a second disk, as in a regular PC. It’s not for nothing that the very first SSHD disks were developed in the 2.5-inch laptop format. Later, 3.5-inch hybrid drives were released. Although now in laptops with a disk drive, it is possible to replace it with a hard drive or solid-state drive, but I will tell you how to do this in one of the following articles.

The disadvantages include the inability to fit all critical data on the flash memory of an SSHD disk. But it also doesn’t make sense to install more than 32GB on a hybrid SSHD, since it will be cheaper to buy regular SSD on 64GB.

For the price they are this moment significantly superior to conventional hard drives. For example, at the time of writing, a 1 TB hard drive Seagate Desktop SSHD model ST1000DX001 cost about 6,000 rubles, and its competitor 1Tb Western Digital WD Blue SSHD WD10J31X cost about 5,500 rubles. At the same time, a regular 1 TB Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 hard drive will cost you 3,600 rubles. And this includes models with only 8GB of memory. With more quantity the difference will increase. But this is still several times less than the cost of an SSD of similar size.

Conclusion

Hybrid hard drives are a compromise solution that allows you to both increase the overall performance of the system in which they are installed and reduce its price.

You could say this is an evolutionary development of conventional HDDs. Due to the increased cache, it was possible to reduce the number of disk accesses, which was reflected in reduced power consumption and heat dissipation, durability and reduced noise during operation. All this makes them much more productive and practical than HDDs, and several times cheaper than SSDs.

The original purpose that the SSHD was supposed to fulfill was to be a low-cost replacement for SSDs and hard drives in laptops and mobile computers completed successfully. After testing the technology and eliminating the shortcomings, manufacturers began to produce 3.5-inch formats for a regular PC.

Thus, for an expensive PC and laptop, it is better to choose a high-speed solid-state drive with a large capacity on which to install the operating system and the programs and applications necessary for work, but for a regular PC and especially a laptop, an SSHD is ideal, which will replace obsolete and slow ones hard disc drive.

Why choose a hybrid hard drive over an SSD
Hybrid hard drive combines the performance of a solid-state drive with the storage capacity mechanical disk. They are larger than SSDs and faster than a simple hard drive.
It is sometimes referred to as a solid-state hybrid drive (SSHD). The drive automatically caches data into solid-state storage for faster file access.
Solid state drives are much faster than mechanical drives. Prices have dropped noticeably, so it makes sense to upgrade to an SSD. But even cheaper drives are less capacious. 1 GB of solid state drive costs $0.58, and 1 GB of mechanical drive costs $0.06. An affordable solid-state drive has a maximum capacity of 256 GB, while a mechanical drive has a capacity of 2 or 3 TB. Mechanical drives are slow, but have enormous capacity at an extremely low cost per gigabyte.
To take advantage of both types of drives, many people equip their computers with both solid-state and mechanical drives. The solid state drive is used for system files and programs that need speed. A large mechanical disk is used for long-term storage of files that do not require particularly quick access, such as a collection of films. This requires installing both drives into the computer and choosing which programs and files to put on each drive. You have to move files to another drive yourself. Moving a program to another disk means deleting it and reinstalling it in another location.
A hybrid drive consists of a magnetic disk and a solid-state drive with the volume of a small solid-state drive. This disk appears to the operating system as a single disk. You are not responsible for which files go to the mechanical drive and which to the solid state. The drive's firmware determines what makes it onto the solid-state drive and what doesn't.
The SSD part of the disk serves as a “cache” - files that are often accessed - files of the operating system and programs, the firmware is stored in the SSD drive. The cache is stored in non-volatile semiconductor solid-state memory, surviving reboots and thereby speeding up the boot procedure.
Access to system and program files is performed at the speed of a solid-state disk, while simultaneously providing the capacity of the magnetic disk for other files. The drive handles this on its own—you don't have to move files back and forth or decide what goes where.
Most hybrid drives have a small SSD storage capacity. Some of them have 1 TB of mechanical capacity and only 8 GB of semiconductor memory. 8 GB is enough to store system and program files, but this volume is not comparable to 128 or 256 GB, which can accommodate all system and program files.
Apple's Fusion Drive is also a hybrid and is equipped with a magnetic capacity of 1 to 3 TB along with 128 GB of solid-state memory.
Hybrid drives are cheaper than solid-state drives because they contain less solid-state memory. A 2TB hybrid drive with 8GB of cache is more expensive than a regular 2TB mechanical drive, but cheaper than a 256GB SSD, which has even less free space.
A major advantage is that the hybrid drive is a single physical disk. If your laptop only has room for one drive, but you need the speed of a solid-state drive and the capacity of a mechanical drive, then a hybrid drive is the best solution.
It's all about price and capacity. If magnetic and solid-state drives were the same in cost, then hybrid drives would not be needed at all. Solid state drives would be better in every way.
Hybrid drive is slow when first used. When it first starts working, caching has not yet been done, which means that the disk will be just as slow as a classic magnetic one. As you use it, the drive will learn which files to cache and speed will gradually increase.
It's up to you to choose which drive to use, but our team prefers a hybrid drive with at least 32GB of solid-state memory.

Tell me how to properly install Windows 7/8 on SSHD? and got the best answer

Reply from †Codename87†[guru]
What makes you think that everything is so divided between them? And how can this even be?! And why the hell is all this?! Some kind of fuss, and also useless. I bought a regular SSD and installed the system on it. I bought a regular HDD and use it as a file dump. This is what many people do.
As far as I understand, SSHD is the same HDD, only with an additional, so to speak, memory module (faster and more voluminous), which is used for cache, that’s all, i.e. it speeds up copying to some extent: useful on small kilobyte files and is practically useless on GB files, because the cache is not rubber. But to divide Windows into parts - this is the first time I’ve heard about this in my years. Most likely you misunderstood something.

Show me some screenshot, so let’s say it’s proof of all this, that Windows is so broken into parts.

Answer from Leri[guru]
The system is generally installed, all on just one active media...
there is no such thing as secondary files, here additional programs You can then at least install it on the external one...


Answer from SanSej[guru]
As far as I know, the pre-installed Windows is done like this: 2 disks are created, formatted. Then the first (which should be C:, system) volume is deleted. And the system is installed in an empty space (it appears at the front). In this type of installation, 2 partitions are created from scratch:
1.Hidden partition that contains the Windows bootloader
2.Disk C: system with Windows itself.
With this installation, the bootloader is less likely to be subject to virus attacks and crashes less often.
In your case, install Windows on a completely empty SSD
Disk D: then you can make it in Windows as a logical volume from the HDD (or several volumes-D: E: ...)


Answer from Alexander Ivanov[guru]
Perhaps by “secondary” you mean the paging and hibernation file. So it’s better to disable hibernation altogether, and it’s better to keep the paging file on the system partition


Answer from Evgeniy Kushnarev[guru]
if 64-128 gigs, all for the system. And important programs. the rest to disk2.HDD for working with it without hassle - a utility according to the platform - AMD or for Intel. Let SSD Tweaker watch. and downloading. Movies, videos, everything on the HDD is desirable.


Answer from IvAN[guru]
There is no need to mislead anyone here with your speculations. Hybrid drives are practically regular disks and the SSD part there is controlled by the firmware to slightly speed up the operation of the system as a whole, but not dramatically. It is too small to store axis files on it, it is just a fast second-level cache in processors. There is no division of the system there and cannot be!!!

Don't make problems for yourself! Everything is done simply, you split the disk into two partitions, system and logical, and install Windows!

Two-in-one devices have always attracted buyers because combining technologies in one device often improves the performance of the devices. Naturally, the price for the set will be decent. Take, for example, a video dual device, a laptop-tablet or an MFP. Manufacturers of hard drives also decided to resort to crossing the two technologies, introducing inexpensive SSHD drives to the market. The article focuses on the hybrid hard drive, the pros and cons of the device, as well as reviews from happy owners.

A holy place is never empty

Expensive technology of very fast SSD drives and affordable but very slow magnetic HDDs, have created a huge gap in the hard storage media market, both in the price and speed categories. There was an urgent need for a golden mean that could satisfy the user not only with characteristics, but also at an affordable price. This is how a symbiosis appeared - SSHD disks. Nothing depends on the user in the operation of the device. Everything works automatically. In fact, for the owner the process of operation of the hybrid drive will be invisible in terms of installation and installation. No drivers need to be installed, the controller is detected and managed Computer BIOS. You can only see the result - a significant increase in performance, which is noticeable when loading the system and launching resource-intensive applications, including games.

How it works

The principle of operation is quite simple and is somewhat reminiscent of the operation of a central processor. Magnetic hard drives have long used caching technology, where frequently used information is read from a magnetic disk and written to the memory of the built-in chip on the hard drive. The chip size is disproportionately small (8-128 MB), but this is quite enough for the system to operate. Naturally, the chip is able to communicate with the processor at enormous speed. The technology used by hybrid hard drives involves the presence of another chip, created using SSD technology, but with a larger capacity. As a result, the processor turns to the hard drive for information.

  1. If the information is in the level 1 cache, it is provided instantly.
  2. If the information is not in the 1st level, the access is transferred to the 2nd level cache. Since the second level uses an SSD, information is also quickly provided to the processor.
  3. Information is read from the surface of the magnetic disk, which slows down the operation of the entire system.

Feasibility of installation

At first glance, it may seem that the main consumers in the market for these drives are owners of personal computers. After all, for a laptop, devices without rotating components are preferable for safety and shock resistance reasons. However, judging by numerous reviews from owners, hybrid hard drives are purchased specifically for laptops. Portable devices require volume first and then performance. And if for personal computer While it is not problematic to install several storage devices of different form factors, the laptop has a serious limitation. Besides SSD installation impractical due to limited volume and high price.

Reasons to buy a new drive

For most laptop owners, the main problem in their work is the failure of the hard drive with the loss of important information for the user. As an alternative solution, the seller offers three options.

  1. Install the same HDD drive, for example a 500 GB hard drive, but with increased shock resistance of 1000 G. In this case, the purchase costs will be minimal, as will the performance.
  2. Install an SSD, losing capacity, spending a lot of money, but gaining in performance.
  3. Install a hybrid SSHD drive, getting high performance, affordable cost, and large capacity.

Naturally, thanks to this approach of sellers, judging by the numerous reviews from happy customers, hybrid drives have conquered the portable device market.

Two hard drives in a laptop?

It is not necessary to install a hybrid hard drive for a laptop instead of a standard device. Due to the presence of a mass of various adapters on the market, it is possible to install an additional hard drive in the system. There are many options. Beginning with USB interface and eSATA, ending with soldering unused SATA ports to motherboard portable device. And only one option deserves special attention from users. We are talking about a device called Second HDD Caddy, which resembles a pocket for connecting hard drives to a running personal computer.

Due to its size and interfaces, this pocket should be installed instead of a standard DVD optical device. Naturally, it can only be installed in laptops where this drive is preinstalled. As a result, the user receives a second hard drive, which, in addition to a huge amount of storage capacity, provides excellent performance at an affordable price.

Priorities for PC

A hybrid hard drive for a computer will be more useful for game lovers. After all, most synthetic tests are office computers shows that the weak link is the processor or video adapter, but not the magnetic disk. And only in gaming systems, when there is a powerful video card, a strong central processor and a fast RAM, the hard drive becomes the culprit of all problems.

Installing an SSD can solve performance problems, but the high price and small amount of memory do not suit half of potential buyers. Judging by numerous reviews, the hybrid device is also used under the system. 8 GB Level 2 cache allows you to accommodate working Windows system with all its services and drivers, including the swap file. This offload will not only allow games to run faster on the processor and memory, but will also significantly speed up the work of applications related to video encoding and working with flash.

How to see performance

Hybrid hard drives are the only drives that allow you to see first-hand system performance, as well as measure and compare the results before and after improvements. It sounds fantastic, but it's a fact. Everything is very simple. After mounting and installing the operating system, the controller on the drive needs time to capture frequently used files, which it will place in the second-level cache. Sometimes you have to perform 5-7 system reboots for the drive to start working properly. desired mode, providing high performance. If the SSHD disk was purchased as an additional drive, for games, for example, then you need to launch the game, play, exit, and restart the computer. The result of the controller's operation will be noticed immediately when the operating system or favorite game loads several times faster.

What's on the market for PC

When choosing, the user may encounter a choice problem required device. We are talking about the assortment - it is too small for a huge market computer components. Market leaders Seagate, Western Digital and Toshiba introduced devices with SSHD technology to the world. But only Seagate provided the buyer with a choice; the rest were limited to a couple of models. Judging by numerous expert reviews, all developed countries have long replaced magnetic drives with SSDs. And only in third world countries, where not every buyer can afford a device at a high price, are such hybrid miracle devices sold. The manufacturer Seagate offers customers SSHD drives in all sorts of variations, ranging from memory capacity and cache sizes of the 1st and 2nd levels, ending with spindle speed.

Decent model

Hard drives with a capacity of several terabytes will not surprise anyone today. In pursuit of volumes, the user loses sight of many other factors.

  1. Speed ​​of chaotic reading from disk. The larger the volume, the more difficult it is for the read head to find information. Even though this parameter is measured in milliseconds, the result is quite noticeable in a synthetic test.
  2. Rationality of purchase. Reading reviews from many buyers, we can conclude that there is no point in purchasing a drive larger than 1 TB. Having spent a large amount for excess space, the user is not able to fill it with data.

Apparently, the manufacturer Seagate also came to the same conclusions, focusing on a 500 GB SSHD hard drive with a spindle speed of 5400 rpm. It is the ST500LM000 model that participates in all synthetic tests to compare performance with other hard drives; judging by the results, it has few competitors in terms of operating speed.

To take or not to take?

In any case, the rhetorical question will concern the buyer when choosing a hard drive. After all, SSHD technology is not the best hard drive for PC and laptop owners. The goal of producing a hybrid drive, first of all, was to saturate the market with devices that combine large capacity and fast NAND memory at a low price. You need to stop here and make decisions based on the needs of use.

  1. A high-capacity drive that was always full to capacity failed - an SSHD drive will be an excellent replacement. With a difference of 300-500 rubles, the buyer will receive increased productivity.
  2. You need an ultra-fast computer for games, and the information on the hard drive rarely exceeded 100 GB - you can’t find a better SSD. It may be more expensive, but it's worth it.
  3. There is a need for additional storage media for documents and multimedia - a regular, cheapest HDD drive will be the best purchase.

Finally

By summarizing the information, it is possible to draw conclusions, thanks to which any user will make his own decision, as experts from popular computer publications. And judging by numerous reviews, these findings are quite interesting.

  • For users who have gaming computer with high-performance components, buying one or two SSD drives won’t hurt your pocket, because for them the FPS (frames per second) in the game is more expensive than any banknotes.
  • Looking for inexpensive magnetic storage very often the buyer resorts to buying it on the secondary market. In our country this is a fairly common option.
  • Only a handful of people looking for compromises Those who are eager to get maximum performance and know how to count their own earned money will look at hybrid hard drives.
