Would using a SSD as a primary hard drive and have other normal HDD drives to store data make my PC run faster?

Yes, my boot times ran just under a minute, now it takes around 10 seconds to the sign in screen. Photoshop files almost POP up on the screen and even huge .psd files can be modified on the fly with no lag. SAWEET!!

YES you will be flabbergasted by how fast your computer will be by putting the operating system on the SSD

You can attached this drive to desktop For best results keep your operating system on SSD Keep SSD one as a primary drive for the operating system and keep existing disk as secondary storage for your files etc.

I am not sure what you are specifically asking but if you use a Solid State Drive for your primary C drive you can use conventional drives for storage. The C drive holds the os and programs so those are what count as far as speed. I am sold on the principle of solid state drives from a standpoint of speed gain alone. If you have a limited budget and want to see a speed increase replacing a conventional drive with one of these should please...

1TB SSD+HDD faster boot and photoshop work well! But Balance must Core i5 or i7 and 16GB Ram important work faster!! IF core i3 and 8GB Ram no possible!!

It works as a caching device for your mechanical hard drive.Since SSD is faster, anything that the computer can get from the SSD drive instead of the mechanical hard drive is faster and so speeds up your computer.The SSD is 32 GB and most mechanical hard drives are 500 gigabytes to several terabytes. So the data the computer is using the most at the time is being constantlyswapped out between the mechanical and solid state drives. Hope this helps. The slower your mechanical hard drive is the more performanceincrease you will see.

Ssd is hibrid drive It runs like memori cards Which will be instent response

You could but I would not recommend it due to the slow transfer speeds. Which is the largest benefit of owning an SSD.

Could be, I'm happy with speed, however install SSD for the operating system which makes it very fast!

It depends on your needs to the hard disku.Esli you often copy information, editing video, photos, then you will be the way this type of disc. Installing on a laptop SSD drive will greatly increase not only the performance of the disk subsystem, but also the visual speed of the device as a whole.

This is a hybrid (dual) drive. The smaller portion (120 GB) is a SSD and the larger portion (1TB) is a normal HDD. If you use the SSD portion to load up all the programs, and to use the HDD as the file storage, your computer will run extremely fast. Good luck!

I don't actually remember that distinction, but Windows has to be on the 500 GB regular HD or otherwise the SSD would be of no use or consequence. Speed is not the operative parameter with this computer.

I haven't messed with the hdd yet, so I don't know about installing a ssd. The 2 blank memory slots are very easy to access and you can quickly plug in more RAM.

using an ssd for music and media storage is kind of a waste of its performance. the ssd will limit your capacity that you could get for the same price or cheaper with a traditional hard drive. the advantage of the ssd is it's speed so it's good for operating systems and programs that take time to load. you'll hardly notice a difference in performance having music on a sdd. the only real advantage would be if you search your catalog a lot as a ssd will be able to search faster.

No the HDD is a Seagate thin notebook Hybrid Drive that is a portion of the drive is Solid State which may improve performance on repetitive access be careful about theBrands of external Hard Drives you attach because some of the supplied software may cause the PC to respond very slowly

Yep, works great... we use the SSD for the OS and installed programs. Then use a 1TB drive for data. Very fast boot times with this configuration.

Yes, but you would loose the performance benefits of a SSD on account of the bottleneck of SATA 1.0 interface

The drive would be compatible, but I am not seeing a dramatic increase in performance.
