Seagate announced what it's calling the & world's fastest 2.5-inch laptop PC hard drive,& combining 7200rpm rotating platters with 4GB of solid-state memory. The OS-independent Momentus XT boots up to 100 percent faster than traditional laptop drives, but costs much less than SSDs (solid state disks), the company claims....
Tablet users may need more storage capacity in the future, and Samsung Semiconductor on Thursday announced it is now making its fastest solid-state drives for tablets and laptops with capacity of up to 512GB.
Foremay is shipping a NAND solid state drive (SSD) claimed to be the world's smallest SSD & disk-on-chip.& Its OC177 DOC chip measures only 0.87 x 0.87 x 0.07 inches (22 x 22 x 1.8mm), supports standard IDE or SATA host interfaces, and is available in 32GB capacities, with a read/write speed of up to 70/40MB/sec, says the company....
So here is my dilemma, there is this SSD: Newegg.com - Intel 330 Series SSDSC2CT240A3K5 2.5" 240GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

is there a way to check if disk cache is working on a regular sata disk?
i see "asking for disk cache failed" error messages, but discovered my laptop has a 1gb solid state drive without a partition. i saw it in disk utility.

I read in one of the VMware KB article says that snapshots will directly proportional to VM performance.
But my team keep asking me how snapshots can affect performance.
I would like to give them solid reason behind the statement that snapshots are performance killers.
Can any one explain a little bit theory behind why actually snapshots are affecting the performance?
Disk Utility shows that I have a /dev/zram0 as solid state unpartioned, unused size 1Gb.
GParted does not see it at all. Benchmark from Disk Utility says 1.2 Gb/s and I like that.
scb@scb-Aspire-5250:~$ sudo umount /dev/zram0
umount: /dev/zram0: not mounted
scb@scb-Aspire-5250:~$ sudo mkswap /dev/zram0
/dev/zram0: Device or resource busy
Any clues what is the problem?
