SSD effect on games?

If it is really an sshdc, how large is the cache? Lower than an ps2-iso? than the internal ssd-cache might not help and you get reduced to 5400rpm again.
In any case you can try defragmentation

Yup, same as this one:

And I really thought it was 5400 RPM, but it's 7200 RPM... Blink

Supposedly it has about 32 MBs of cache and 8 GBs of Flash SSD, so, maybe the "swapping" of data between the HDD and its 8 GB SSD causes those pauses? Huh

I tried defragmenting it, but it didn't solve the problem unfortunately...

After clicking on your link I read this revision. Maybe you have a corrupt HDD.

I don't know if the 8GB cache can help you for isos since they are already half of that size. And probably there are some other games cached on the ssd.

So in the end: either you can not use the ssd in your sshd because of the size or because something is corrupt. And this results in having a normal hdd at 7200 rpm. Maybe due to the amount of controller/layers (cache, ssd, hdd) it is slower than a simple 7200 rpm hdd.

I would just run a benchmark to check the performance and compare it.
