Two opinions about hybrid drives. Apparently the answer is: it depends.


Can't decide between an SSD and an SSHD for your laptop or PC storage? Let us be your guide.

Are hybrid drives good enough?

It was a laptop, @Roboturner913? SSHD could be an option.

I'm not a big fan of the hybrid drive half measure. Unless you just store a ton of stuff a 256GB SSD is about right. More is better of course though.

Windows 10 boots very fast even on a traditional HDD these days. So the idea of getting a hybrid doesn't have nearly the appeal it did on Win7.

So I get these skin tags, see

(Back story: I have non-Hodgkins disease, which is not nearly as big a deal as it sounds so don't like go start a gofundme or getting dramatic, I'm totes OK. In some people it can be bad news, but I have a sort of low-level version of it that is not serious, but is chronic and kind of annoying. Anyhow, when I have a flare-up, my lymph nodes swell , usually under my arms but occasionally behind my knees and my thigh/groin area. This causes a lot of rubbing and chafing, thus the skin tags.

What I normally do to get rid of them is, I grab a length of dental floss and wrap it around the base of the growth and leave it there a couple days, that cuts off the blood supply and it turns black, and after a couple days you can pretty much just yank it off, no muss no fuss. I do this because at the dermatologist they charge like 100 bucks to freeze them and then cut them off which is a bunch of time-consuming and money-wasting bull****)

Now, to the present

So I have one that's been developing for a couple weeks and it's getting annoying. Not in the junk, but high up my inner thigh enough to be vaguely scandalous, and honestly a little embarrassing, and I don't want my wife to see it and freak out next time there are horizontal activities going on. A couple days ago I do the usual treatment.

Then this afternoon, we're changing clothes and I pull my pants off, and out of the leg of my underwear my wife sees the string of dental floss hanging and she's all, you got a string hanging off.

And she grabs it, assuming its like a stray thread from my boxers, and yanks it, and pulls the thing off before it's ready, and it pops right off, but blood starts spurting everywhere, not a ton of blood but enough to be gross. So then I have to explain the whole goddamned thing, and I'm embarrassed to explain it to her and then we have to have a whole stupid conversation about being 100% honest with each other and a bunch of other horse****.

And then I had to go scrub my own blood out of the bedroom rug and my dignity's pretty shot to hell, so I figured, why not tell this story on the internet?

I researched the hybrid drives, and I'm far from being knowledgable, but it seems like one of those things that is overly complex without providing enough of a performance upgrade to get too excited about it.

I bought one a couple years ago to help an old laptop, and it made a pretty big difference in performance for me. I get a full terabyte of storage, and would be pushing the limits of a 256 GB, and startup is pretty comparable to the laptop I have with a real SSD. I'm quite happy with the setup, personally.

Seriously, with the hybrid drive, an upgraded processor, and more RAM, (all three upgrades were done at different times, so I know that the hybrid drive made a difference and not one of those other factors) that laptop is still humming along great at 9 years old.

it would be such a different story if she was the one with a string hanging off, and you yanked it.

Also you (assumably) missed out the chance for upping up the magnificence by bringing out, in the interest of her so-dear honesty, how your farting ruined the prospects of a threesome with her female crush.

That's only 50% alcohol. It's barely considered an adult beverage
