So I'm getting a bit sick of the "churning" my hard drive makes in my p3 rig, and the slow boot times.
Given TRIM support doesn't exist in xp (and before) for SSD's and CF cards are quite slow - is anyone using a hybrid hard drive (SSHD) in their retro rigs? It seems a cheap way of getting a decent performance boost to me - esp when using a modern controller card.
If so - what model is recommended?
From what I understand, the seagate drives are preferred as they transparently cache everything (WD drives use some sort of driver) - can't say I love the seagate brand recently however.
