Western Digital start selling hybrid drives of the new series WD Blue SSHD.
Although in reality the choice is small : the company offers customers a WD Blue SSHD volume 1TB 2.5 "and one WD Blue SSHD volume 4 terabytes for desktop (3.5"), which received the designation WD10J31X and WD40E31X respectively.
Recall that the essence of the drive is to bring together in a single package of classic platters and a certain volume NAND-memory. In sum, it allows you to get some winning performance in some of the most frequently used applications (NAND array is used to cache the most frequently requested system and data blocks).
Specifically, WD Blue SSHD set the buffer volume 8 GB MLC NAND and a controller JMicron JMF608u2 (crystals enclosed in a single package-chip). Also, the controller of the HDD-equipped traditionally familiar 64MB cache as DDR2, but platters spin at 5,400 revolutions per minute. Established data rate indicated equal 100 and 150 MB / s . The interface is the same for both - SATA3 (just in case we note: WD10J31X technically nothing prevents to be installed in a desktop PC). Related Products :
