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
