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

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.

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.

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.
