SSHD in a Desktop PC instead of Laptop?

[Sebastian_19]

Is it possible to swap my pc hdd with a sshd? ( i want to buy this http://allegro.pl/dysk-twardy-1tb-2-5-seagate-sshd-8gb-hybryda-i6990032027.html )

my pc has a lot of space left in the case, but im still worrying my self about it

I've read some threads, but im still not sure if this would work. my motherboard is msi ms-7636 h55m-p31

i use a sshd as my main bootable drive.
not saying yours is compatible with that mobo, but the performance gain is less than desirable. sure windows will actually boot a little faster than normal hdd, but most of the 8GB ssd part of the drive is taken by windows, firefox, steam. its no good if i want to play anything other than 1 or 2 games (about its limit before it becomes a normal hdd loader).
sshds work best as slave drives i think.

You can, but it will be slower than a desktop SSHD.

You can, but don't expect any performance gain that would blow your socks off.

Yes, but new cables are super, super cheap. Get one.
