    SSHD'S superior to HDD?

    I just want to know if the solid state hard drive is superior to the 7.2k rpm Hard drive since a SSHD is faster and can store more for a cheaper price. Or is it fake and doesn't actually work like that because it looks like it's too good to be true?

    Just upgraded my HDD storage drive to 5 TB and MBR Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

    First off, I didn't think that you could see and use 5 TB on MBR and it setup it up as a Simple volume.. I actually didn't think that MBR could see and use 2 TB, but it sees 4.54 TB free of 5 TB. Is there any point to try and change to use it as GPT? Thanks, Danny
