hybrids more of a go between to use as a main hard drive, a throw back from when large capacity SSD was too expensive, in reality having an ssd as your OS drive and a mechanical as your storage drive ieliminates the need for a hybrid hdd. they are much faster (depending on model) but for mass storage you wont really notice, and for game loading times the difference it would make is minimal (a few seconds here and there in games). theyre only really useful if you want a massive boot drive with better performance on the cheap, or if you do a lot of video capture/editing and want to have the capture hardware record 1080p/60fps to hdd without stutter in raw. But you have a gtx980, you can just use shadowplay, it uses the cards internal hardware encoder to record and compress your gameplay, all the way up to 1080p/60fps, with audio, and optionally with mic and webcam overlay, direct to compressed video format which bypasses the need for super fast mass storage. besides, if you are installing most games to hdd and saving the ssd for essential/os, then you can use the free ssd space as a store-pad, recording things to it then moving it manually to hdd when youre done. |
Ah okay, that make sense. Thanks for that :) . the SSD will be purely for OS stuff and some games.
