Been using firecuda 2tb but they don’t seem to make larger disks... anyone know of larger capacity SSHDs?
Using for storage. Sshd cheaper than SSD that’s why

SSHD/SSD will not benefit a drive use for storage. Save yourself the money and just get a higher capacity drive.

There is, actually. File indexing and data transfer is much faster. It also doesn’t take ages to load a folder with a lot of files. A standard HDD can sometimes take a long time to load contents but my SSHD loads folder contents instantaneously. Basically got tired of using explorer the last time I used a HDD and ran files with command line instead.
I have a ton of video files, a lot of them that are 3D. This is why I’m looking for an SSHD instead.
I think you don't get it. The 8GB NAND on the drive is used for caching. When you copy files to it, it goes directly to the mechanical drive, not to the flash memory. It you often open the same file, then yes, it will benefit you. However if you are opening random files each time, the cache will not work. For example, if you first install your application or OS on it, you need to launch it few times before it gets cached and thus, speeding up the app or OS launch. It's more psychological to think that it's faster. Higher capacity drives provides higher transfer rates. You can Google up if you choose not to believe.
How about using a dedicated hdd and a dedicated SSD as a read cache
I've been camping for a 2tb ssd (sata/nvme) sale. Cheapest I've seen is a 170usd Intel 660p. Anyone got lobang either local or overseas?I use a 2TB Micron SSD to store my photos and PSD files. Much much much nicer for boosting productivity
storage and bukit timah for HDD
SDD for everything else
256 or 512gb is good
