For now, I still use ol' style HDD connected via sata or usb.
Probably most you you have a hdd+ssd combo.
I'd like in future to buy an SSHD drive (which is HDD+SSD cache), but what happen if the "ssd cache" stop to work? The disk die or still works as a regular hdd? I consider also an SSD, but I won't gain a good quantity of space on drives.
And what happen to files in ssd cache?
Someone here use, or used, them?
Obviously, a backup - or more - is recommended in any case ^^
So:
> I still likes the HDDs as are the most cheaper with plenty of space, and you have the time to backup when they starts to fail;
> I like the SSHDs as are economic and can boost performances, but I'm a afraid about losing data and I don't trust them yet: Here, for now, can be bought only by trusted (online) vendors and so are still uncommon.
> I like SSDs as are the faster, but I dislike them as, for what I know, tend to die silently and are still quite expensive. A system which does a lot of temporary files (windows) doesn't decrease the life span of this disk?
