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.
