It's shit on Western digital drives as well. The firmware is dumb as fuck.
It's great if you only boot the OS and do nothing else. If you watch a movie or something, the cache will be filled with movie and your next boot will be HDD slow again. It literally just caches the last 4GB you've used and hopes you access them again.

Surely the cache ignores large sequential reads and writes? No one can be that stupid. Even eboostr and readyboost ignores large files.

Don't listen to /g/, they are a hivemind sometimes. Use google or youtube and cheap out the loading times. See for yourself.

Oh they work, just not as well as SSDs, only makes sense if you really need the space on a laptop, or you need this big ass drive that is a faster than a traditional HDD, or you're building a computer for some tech-illiterate person who can't be arsed to learn how to juggle things between a SSD and HDD.

Nope, I use 16Gb usb stick with eboostr, 0.5TB drive but loaded with lots of heavy programs (acad, adobe...) and cache fill is only 80%.

Difference in performance is huge compared to stock hdd.

The only hybrid drive that is worth the money is WD Black2. It is basically a 120GB SSD and 1TB HDD merged into a single drive.
It is a bit more expensive but if your laptop doesn't have an optical bay and has only one slot for a HDD - it would be the perfect solution.

Difference is eboostr knows not to cache 3gb files whereas sshd seem to cache everything.

I know all about eboostr, I experimented with it a lot a few years ago, including striped disks, ram drives, pcmcia drives too. Was pretty neat.
