I know you love SSHDs but they are garbage. Get an actual SSD, rather than some hodgepodge experimental permutation of two well studied technologies, and you’ll understand. The latency on SSHDs is trash, which is the whole argument SSDs make. Even WD acknowledges this with their new “NAND assisted drives” — the only real thing NAND can do for a HDD is store the bitmap and run ECC.

*im drunk and may have mischaracterized these technologies but, still, case in point

Better tell that to Apple with their fusion drive.

Apples to oranges, no pun intended. Fusion drive is like ZFS cache, and the minimum Apple provides is 24GB — 3x the capacity of most SSHDs.

I've wondered about that, but since the Windows runs in about 4GB of RAM, I would suppose that 8GB of cache is not an unreasonable amount.
