Reviews around price (4.91 of 5)

  • Great price point between full SSD and regular hard drive
  • It's a big hard drive and on Amazon Prime-day it was a good price ($60)
  • Their one major flaw is the extremely large price
  • It's a quality hard drive that does the job...you can get it on sale for 79.99 which is the ideal price point.
  • Not noticing too much of a speed boost over my original barracuda, but the size is great and the price is good for a high quality drive.

Reviews around value (4.72 of 5)

  • This was an excellent compromise; good value based on read/write speeds and total storage space.
  • Maybe now as fast as a true SSD but client needed speed and space.
  • Very good, very fast large cap and good value for the money.
  • I think this a good value, especially compared to a 1tb ssd.
  • For the ones that would run in Windows, it would start and then at some point start moving so slow as to never complete.

Reviews around state (4.46 of 5)

  • I normally trust Western Digital, but they seem to have stopped making solid state hard drives
  • I've used this solid state hybrid drive for about three months.
  • The "FireCuda" model of Seagate drives is a SSHD -- a Solid State Hybrid Drive.
  • I confess that when I recently built my last desktop PC (Feb 2016) and was thinking about my storage options I didn't consider a hybrid drive or better a SSHD - solid state hard drive

Reviews around performance (4.37 of 5)

  • My computer’s overall performance has been greatly improved
  • Excellent drive so far, great performance and lots of storage.
  • Regardless, I tested performance against my SSD (which should, and did, kill it) and my previous speed king, the Barracuda
  • the hard drive and the performance just wasn't what it should have been
  • Great performance with the capacity - what else could you ask for

Reviews around installation (4.33 of 5)

  • I thought I would have to ante up $500+ for a 2TB SSD, but I have no hiccups with this drive and everything is as smooth and fast as I would dream
  • For the ones that would run in Windows, it would start and then at some point start moving so slow as to never complete.
  • Again, not as great as my SSD, and not quite as great as I was hoping
  • Maybe now as fast as a true SSD but client needed speed and space.

Reviews around speed (4.33 of 5)

  • This hard drive is set up in a laptop and works silently at great speed
  • When a person thinks SSD, they're expecting better speed and this drive just didn't perform all that good
  • , I benched both disk twice and get the same results, this SSHD is slower than 7200.14 series, but Seagate recommend this one for "gaming", my oldest barracuda was faster but doesn't have an small SSD cache inside, maybe with the time will be better in load times but the average speed is mediocre.
  • Obviously you you could get better speeds with a SSD but at this price, speed, and storage you can't beat it
  • This drive has a 64GB cache buffer that essentially is an ssd bolted on to a high speed mechanical drive with faster communication speeds.

Reviews around install (4.28 of 5)

  • Wasn't a big drama to do a clean install of Windows 10 on it.
  • My computer keeps crashing since this was installed and I have had to purchase something many times expensive to do what this was supposed to do.
  • I performed a clean/fresh install of Windows onto this hard drive, then installed all of the Windows updates onto the hard drive
  • Great hardrive space and more cost effective than a ssd, I did a clean install of Windows with no problems , and write speeds up to 200 mb/s
  • For the ones that would run in Windows, it would start and then at some point start moving so slow as to never complete.

Reviews around work (4.11 of 5)

  • All is working very nicely, and I recommend these drives because they are inexpensive for what you get.
  • i bought to upgrade my ps4 hard drive and is working great so far just got it today with the nyko data
  • Then, once I was getting adjusted to pc gaming, the hard drive randomly crapped out and nothing works
  • The hard drive works with no problems and the best part is the free software you can download from Seagate to set up and manage your hard drive(s).
  • Thousands of I/O Error according to DriveDX

Reviews around load (4.06 of 5)

  • This is the very worst laptop drive purchase mistake I have ever made in my 20 years of building up great computers!I Purchased this drive based off 3 statements in this drive Specifications: (All Proven To Be False)1.Faster load times for non-stop performance and play2.Performs up to 5× faster than 7200 rpm desktop hard drives3.Boots Windows 8 in less than 10 secondsDrive is only good for
  • The PC has been lagging for more than a year with slow boot and load times.
  • This drive gives a full 1.77TB of formatted, useable space on the PS4 and gives noticeably faster boot and load times than the shipping drive
  • The games load quickly and the hard drive works amazingly well
  • It's do have faster loading than my old SATA hard drive for my desktop.

Reviews around storage (4.04 of 5)

  • So everybody knows that an SSD is the optimal storage device for gaming
  • For the ones that would run in Windows, it would start and then at some point start moving so slow as to never complete.
  • This hard drive has a nice speed with SATA 3 and it has nice storage space for all of my PC games.
  • Fast efficient storage and gives a touch more speed than just platter based drives
  • Works xbox one hard drive storage better Seagate firecuda 2TB

Reviews around sshd (3.91 of 5)

  • On top of this they include the sshd feature with work well as a game booting drive because I rent to load up the same programs and games
  • I decided to buy a new drive to clone the old one before it was too late (as reinstalling Windows and all apps from scratch is painful).This is when I noticed that Seagate Barracuda disks now only come with a two-year warranty, so I decided to get a more expensive FireCuda SSHD with a five-year warranty even though I was happy with the performance of the old Barracuda
  • Feel free to pair it with a SSD if you want even better performance.***Update: The SSHD failed after less than 1 year into its 5 year warranty
  • , I benched both disk twice and get the same results, this SSHD is slower than 7200.14 series, but Seagate recommend this one for "gaming", my oldest barracuda was faster but doesn't have an small SSD cache inside, maybe with the time will be better in load times but the average speed is mediocre.
  • That said, as a boot-up drive this SSHD would become faster as you use it.

Reviews around seagate (3.86 of 5)

  • I will most likely never buy another Seagate hard drive and it's not because the hard drive failed after 1 month
  • For the ones that would run in Windows, it would start and then at some point start moving so slow as to never complete.
  • if u want storage and performance this seagate is perfect for use
  • I thought I would have to ante up $500+ for a 2TB SSD, but I have no hiccups with this drive and everything is as smooth and fast as I would dream
  • One upside, the hard drive has a long warranty and Seagate has a great reputation for reliability

Reviews around disk (1.63 of 5)

  • It's performance is almost at the level of a solid state drive, but it has the capacity of a large hard disk drive.
  • My original boot drive (a regular hard disk drive) is now a mirrored backup
  • At about the same time Windows 10 started spouting out hard disk warnings, The drive was dying
