Hybrid HDD/SSD drive in Qosmio F750-11U
Posted: 30-May-2012 18:43

Hi,

I had understood that my F750 would have a hybrid drive with 4GB SSD which would be really useful for very fast access when I'm programming.

I can't find any mention of it except in the manual, which said I should go to
"Start -> All Programs -> TOSHIBA -> Utilities -> PC Diagnostic tool" to find out.

It isn't mentioned there, just the 449 GB HDD.

So have I got SSD?

My Part Number is PQF75E-04W01MGR.

All help appreciated.

As far as I know the F750-11U is equipped with an 500GB (7200RPM) SATA Solid State Hybrid drive which supports and includes 4GB NAND flash.
This allows you to boot up the system much faster.

That's what I thought.
And so I wanted to install certain files on the SSD part. How do I do that?
Thanks

I don’t understand what you mean?
The notebook supports one SSD drive. Its 500GB and 4GB are part of this 500GB and this 4GB are solid state memory (SLC NAND)

What I mean is that I have a question: How do I address the 4GB part?

Secondary question: Should it be mentioned in the Diagnostics Tool? What should I read there?

Thanks

NAND allows only page access… this means that you cannot address this part of SSD drive manually…
I mean creating a partition and to store some files there… (I think you mean exactly this..)

The 4GB are used to for file access or system boot…as far as I know its used for virtual memory. Virtual memory combines your computer’s RAM with temporary space on your hard disk When RAM runs low, virtual memory moves data from RAM to a space called a paging file stored on HDD.
However, usually the computer can read data from RAM much faster than from a HDD but due to the 4GB on SSD drive this sharing would be much faster.
