SSD + SATA

[hayashiryo]

Hi,

I have a few questions regarding HDD.

Nowadays I see laptop with additional HDD option.
Ex. 500GB SATA+8GBSSH
Or 500GB HDD + 32GB mSATA

1) What is SSH?
2) Is mSATA = SSD?
3) And how does this type of "dual option" HDD Work?

Thanks

Its SSHD (Solid State Hybrid Drive), a combination of HDD and SSD
mSATA is the connector type. but yes, the 32GB mSATA should be an SSD.
the SSD is usually used as a cache to speed up. It is faster than just HDD alone but definitely slower than a pure SSD.
