If I have enough ram, could I use a ramdidk+HDD to make an sshd?

If I have enough ram, could I use a ramdidk+HDD to make an sshd?

Has anyone done this? Can I do this?

Ramdisk*

Yes, I use a ramdisk for my browser/photoshop/etc cache.

Would it help much?

Let's say I have 16GB ram and make a 4gb ramdisk, would I even feel the difference?

I'd like to use a ramdick on that little slut.

Just get a small modern M.2 like a 128GB Samsung Pro 960

It won't cost much, give WAY more space than a RAMDisk and it writes at like 3.5GB/s so it's pushing the limits of insane speeds anyway.

I already have the ram though, so it won't cost me anything to try, if I can

You can do it on Linux by using a ramdisk and bcache.

You can't on Windows.

You want to use RAM and a HDD to make a secure shell daemon? This doesn't even make sense.

it will be faster than any SSD that exists once the data is in ram. Also useful for things that """"""""need"""""""" to write stupid bullshit/cache to disk.

sshd is solid state hybrid disk

>would I even feel the difference?
Feeling a difference in comparison to what, using a HDD? I/O of caching will be faster, yes. It probably won't be that noticeable if you aren't doing excessive read/writes.


>You can't on Windows.
Yes, you can. Why the fuck wouldn't you be able to?

Why not name it sshdd instead? sshd has already been taken for decades.

You should be able to infer which is meant by the context, if you aren't a retard.

>things that """"""""need"""""""" to write stupid bullshit/cache to disk
which includes tons of programs

firefox(not sure if you can specify cache location in chrome)
photoshop
blender/maya
vegas
windows(tmp/temp), which encompasses tons of third party programs too.
bluestacks
drivers
7zip
comic book readers

it's also nice for privacy too.

Hybrid drives aren't even going to be a thing. It's a stopgap measure which will be forgotten in the next year or two. If you say sshd on Cred Forums, I'm going to assume you mean secure shell daemon because that's what it means.

That's what all OS do by default already, retard

...

Are you fucking retarded?

most operating systems already do extensive disk read caching in memory

write caching is more dangerous, as power loss will result in data loss, you can also do this though, at your own risk

>literally only Seagate makes them
Seriously, they're a joke, Samsung has a 4TB consumer SSD out there, it's only a matter of time before prices become equal

Are you an idiot?
