I agree but idk what the hell Hitachi did with that hdd. It is the most responsive hdd equipped machine I've used.
I might also shove 16 gb into it but idk if it will boot with 16 gb. It's also from Sony so idk if I can find an up to date bios for it.
Some HDDs are "hybrid": they have a sizable amount (~8-16 GB) of SSD storage that the drive firmware stores the most often accessed blocks, rest is accessed from usual spining rust. You may have that kind of HDD.
It's just a normal hdd.
It's currently installing some stuff hence the 100% utilization.
And sorry for taking 50 years to get back to you
nevermind. the cache part of HDD won't appear in task manager, it is transparent to the OS. But this HDD has only 8MB of cache, not really useful. Still it is very good if the HDD can stay responsive.
I looked up the model. It's a 5400 rpm Hitachi travelstar. It's SATA 2
I think it's just a normal hdd but I will check that once I get home today.
