Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “SSD Caching as Fast As Possible”.
So I got my SSD and I got my cash, so maybe it’s like you’ve won a picture of like the Queen on your SSD and then oh, not that kind of cash we’re talking about cash storage. So it starts with the CPU, where there’s a tiny little bit of storage that is lightning fast. We’Re talking nanoseconds the most frequently used data that your computer needs goes there. Next up, we’ve got RAM, which is orders of magnitude, more storage, but is not nearly as fast as CPU cache, but it’s much faster than this guy right here. So most computers are still running mechanical hard drives, which are again orders of magnitude larger in terms of capacity than something like memory, but orders of magnitude slower as well. So we’re an SSD cache comes in is it’s kind of like strapping something that’s in between RAM and in between mechanical hard drives to this solution. So the system can dynamically automatically intelligently take the data that it needs most often, but not that often and keep it on an SSD drive. This is great for at things like applications or games, where it’s huge amounts of data, but you still want lightning-fast loading time now. This solution obviously isn’t great for something like a notebook where you have two separate drives going into the device, but what? If we had something that integrated both of these concepts together in one small device? So this is a Seagate momentous drive. This is what’s called a hybrid drive or an sshd, where it actually has a hard drive inside and SSD components that are never even visible to the end-user. It just behaves like a faster hard drive, but that’s not where it ends this technology scales all the way up to the enterprise, where huge arrays of SSDs might be backing up even more massive arrays of hard drives.
That’S what keeps pages like Facebook loading extremely quickly without the company completely running out of space, to store all the photos and all of the data that gets uploaded to them. So the hard drive is big and cheap. The SSD is small and expensive, and this is where the marriage of the two makes a lot of sense. Performance isn’t going to be as fast as a purely SSD based system, but it’s going to be much faster than a hard drive based system, particularly for your most frequent used applications and data. I hope you guys have enjoyed this tech quickie as fast as possible. Don’T forget to like the video share, the video with anyone who you think might benefit from it and, as always, don’t forget to .
