Hello there,
I have actually all my wallets, included Bitcoin QT, on a Seagate Barracuda 5200 tr/min (2 To)... and it seems my long sync time for the bitcoin client is due to it (my hard drive is at 98-100%, at an average of 700 ko of reading).
In order to solve this problem, I wonder if a SSHD can do a better job... because I don't want to spend 1000 bucks in a 1 TB SSD. Does someone already tried an SSHD specifically for the bitcoin QT client? Does it help a lot?
Regards.
By sshd do you mean a hybrid drive? If so, I'm not sure that'll fix anything unless you try to prune it to the solid state part.
Is this the first time you've used the drive. You could try troubleshooting tools on the drive and do other things like defragmentation (If it isn't new).
