Gaat de Marvell HyperDuo technologie de consument veel snelheidswinst opleveren? Ik heb er nog niet zoveel over kunnen vinden op het internet. Wel heb ik de productbrief doorgenomen van Marvell zelf en het lijkt me best een zinvol product 
, maar ben benieuwd naar real world tests en wat bijvoorbeeld de minimale verhouding qua GB's tussen SSD en HDD moet zijn.
"Marvell HyperDuo for 6Gb/s SATA Controllers
Automated SSD/HDD Tiering: 80% SSD Performance at 1/3 the Cost
OVERVIEW
Marvell® is the market leader for SATA embedded controller products and the first-to-market with an end-to-end 6Gb/sSATA solution stack – from 6Gb/s SATA host controllers to 6Gb/s target hard disk drive (HDD) and solid state drive (SSD) controllers. Marvell works closely with industry leaders in such markets as PC motherboards, home NAS, set-top boxes, SSD/HDD drives and consumer SATA host bus adaptors (HBAs). Marvell’s revolutionary HyperDuo technology will help enable pervasive, mass-market SSD adoption. Marvell® HyperDuo offers a breakthrough embedded technology for new-generation 6Gb/s SATA controllers, starting with the Marvell 88SE9130. Based on years of research and patent-pending software and hardware, HyperDuo enables 80 percent of the performance of a solid state drive (SSD) at one-third the cost. Configured with one hard drive and one SSD, HyperDuo uses intelligent algorithms to automatically migrate hot data to the SSD, while enabling all data to be safely stored on a larger capacity SATA HDD.
THE PROBLEM TODAY
The storage market landscape is rapidly changing. Previous generation 3Gb/s SATA technology is quickly giving way to 6Gb/s SATA. By 2010, several disk drive vendors, such as Western Digital® and Seagate®, have launched 6Gb/s SATA HDDs, while memory vendors such as Micron® have launched 6Gb/s SATA SSDs. In the consumer desktop market, SATA motherboard leaders, such as ASUS® and Gigabyte®, have launched 6Gb/s SATA motherboards as well. But a fundamental challenge exists. While 6Gb/s SATA storage technologies are rapidly becoming available, SSD technology is still relatively expensive for consumers. Storing all consumer data on SSDs is impractical due to cost, and using a hybrid approach of manually combining an HDD and SSD (eg. as a boot device) doesn’t offer a true solution for achieving consistent application acceleration for performance-sensitive applications such as gaming, video and rich media or I/O intensive programs.
THE SOLUTION: MARVELL HYPERDUO TECHNOLOGY
Marvell HyperDuo technology is the answer. By embedding automated tiering technology into the chipset that goes into the world’s leading motherboards, home network attached storage (NAS),set-top boxes and desktop HBAs, HyperDuo enables immediate performance value from day one. User applications, such as Microsoft® Office and Media Player, Adobe® Creative Suites, Apple® iTunes, Internet browsers, and “hot” accessed OS-related files will automatically be pinned to the SSD for improved system performance. No need for consumers to do any manual copying that is often error-prone and requires tedious monitoring. And no additional costs or complexity are incurred from buying add-on software. Best of all, because Marvell is the market leader in 6Gb/s SATA technology from host-to-target, consumers can be rest assured that HyperDuo embedded technology works flawlessly with the world’s leading 6Gb/s HDDs and SSDs.
HyperDuo enables two modes: Safe Mode and Capacity Mode. Safe Mode provides optimal data protection by mirroring data from the SSD to the hard disk for maximum resiliency. Capacity Mode augments SSD and HDD capacity for the most cost-effective configuration. Both modes automatically identify LBA ranges across both the SSD and HDD so that the user experience is exactly the same. By allowing consumers to view the same single drive volume (eg. Data (D:) ) as they do today, HyperDuo requires no behavioral changes by consumers to maximize simplicity and eliminates user error.
HyperDuo also offers a graphical user interface (GUI) utility to enable fine-grained control of what files and directories are stored in the SSD. Power users can view file directories that the HyperDuo deems as hot data and decide whether to move it to the SSD or keep the data on the slower hard drive. For novice users, HyperDuo performs automatic background updates to periodically monitor hot file directories, with minimal CPU overhead.
CONCLUSION
Marvell HyperDuo will usher in a new era by enabling truly cost-effective SSD performance. Unlike custom addon software that adds cost and complexity, the HyperDuo technology is built-in to the Marvell system-on-a-chip starting with the Marvell 88SE9130. As opposed to manual tuning, where consumers have to tediously keep on top of what data is hot or cold and where it’s stored, HyperDuo is fully automated. Users see the same Windows environment (eg. D: drive) that they experience today. Any desktop motherboard, home NAS, set-top device or SATA HBA with the Marvell 88SE9130 ASIC will offer this automated SSD acceleration technology “built-in” from day one. Because it is embedded, consumers will automatically get the benefits of SSD acceleration and automated tiering without any added complexity or risk."
