I tested this unit in an Acer Aspire AO-722. This 11.6” netbook has an AMD C-60 64-bit processor, and originally came with a 320 GigaByte platter drive. When upgrading to an SSD drive in search of more speed, the small case dimensions meant that the platter drive had to go to make space for the replacement SSD drive, a Crucial M4. This worked fine, system and application boot times went way down and performance was in line with what could be expected from a lightweight computer with a fast drive: the limiting factor was now the processor, not the hard drive. However, I had achieved this at the expense of losing disk space, since the Crucial unit holds only 64 GB. Other SSD drives were available, but at extra expense. Though their prices have gone down during the last year, users should still expect to pay about $1.00 per GigaByte: large SSDs in excess of 500 Gigabytes may be worth more than the computer itself! If the hybrid drive holds its promises, I may be able to get the best of both technologies within the limited physical space available for this small computer.** | I tested this unit in an Acer Aspire AO-722.

+ | Ayant déjà un système Xubuntu 14.04 qui fonctionnait et qui me plaisait bien, j'ai décidé de cloner le système existant au lieu de faire une nouvelle installation. Le système a détecté sans problème le nouveau disque - connecté via un boîtier USB externe - comme une unité simple. Au départ, le disque n'est pas initialisé et n'a pas de table de partition, selon gparted. | ||

Now, for some testing. I compared several typical actions both with the former Crucial SSD and the new hybrid drive. In both cases, the system comes up in 31s - there are no measurable differences. With the new drive, Gimp starts up in 18s, while LibreOffice Writer needs just 5s. These are just about the same times measured with the SSD, and a definite advance over the traditional spinning disk drive this computer came with. Speeds are much higher and the system is much more responsive. In fact, I did not see any user-noticeable differences between the hybrid Toshiba drive and the pure SSD drive - at least, not during everyday tasks.** | Now, for some testing.

All in all, this concept of hybrid drive is probably a very pertinent upgrade for your netbook, though perhaps less so for a tower computer that could fit in an extra SSD as well as the original disk.** | All in all, this concept of hybrid drive is probably a very pertinent upgrade for your netbook, though perhaps less so for a tower computer that could fit in an extra SSD as well as the original disk.** | ||

+ | D'un point de vue technique, il y a quelques limites. Le disque hybride a la même interface SATA-III à 6 Gbps que la plupart des disques SSD de nos jours. Cependant, pour le moment, il n'y a pas de technologies disponibles aux consommateurs qui rempliront entièrement le bus : les disques de portables qui tournent à 5400 rmp sont vraiment limités à des vitesses de lecture d' | ||
