I understand what the device does and why they named it as they did. It's an awkward use of language, that's all I'm pointing out. I think 'Solid State Hybrid Disk' is a syntaxically incorrect name as it suggests the entire device is solid state when it is not. Hybrid State Disk perhaps?
- jimminy 10y agoI read it as "Solid State Hybrid" -Disk. Which when regarded under the conventional drives at the time it was announced being primarily HDD's it makes it more clear. You have an HDD that is a hybrid with solid state components. Logically clean cut, imo.
- DKnoll 10y agoI'm being super pedantic here, but see how you said hybrid before solid state in your third sentence when explaining it? That's basically what I just suggested would be a clearer name.
- jimminy 10y agoLikewise, I'm being pedantic. Hybrid disk would be the generic term. There has been work on liquid-state storage. So Solid State becomes the adjective modifier for providing the classification of the type of Hybrid Disk. You could in theory have a Liquid State Hybrid Disk, or a Liquid Solid State Hybrid Drive.
