From what I understand, solid state hard drives offer better performance than traditional hard drives

It goes in just fine, installs fine, and the performance is better than the old pure HDD, but after a while you wonder why your drive access is sometimes horribly slow

Super fast in comparison to My old HDD, definitely improves performance on the ps4 which at first, I was weary of buying for, just

Regardless, I tested performance against my SSD (which should, and did, kill it) and my previous speed king, the Barracuda

Now, you could certainly buy separate SSD and mechanical drives with better overall specs and performance, but for everyone but the most demanding users, this hybrid drive is all you’ll need

Great drive with fast performance and easy to install.

This hd is amazing, great performance and quiet will be buying another one

I was hoping to see a better performance boost than I did, but there is a noticeable one

Flawless performance at half the price of SSD

Pulling that same standard image took 10:00, a significant time reduction and not unexpected performance with a pure SSD.Finally, the Seagate Firecuda 1GB drive.

But then buy it again few weeks later and worked as a champ... pretty good performance on desktop gaming..

After 10 months of usage and sluggish system performance I have given up on this model as a win 10 boot drive

Fast, devoted this drive to a media server and the performance is fantastic

Bought this for my Ps4 with three Nyko power bank and wow incredible performance

Performance was impressive enough, only to die after nearly two months.

Overall, it's got great performance and makes a big difference in daily operations, plus it has great transfer rates.

Love this drive's performance as a boot drive & scratch file repository for video editing.

The FireCuda yields outstanding performance in this old host: BlackMagic Disk Speed Test reports 128 MB/sec read, 120 MB/sec write.

Very good performance on gaming.

Like I said, it greatly improved my computer’s overall performance

This SSD is a hybrid, combining a traditional drive with some SSD technology, so you get the faster performance of an SSD with the higher storage of a traditional HDD

Boot times were drastically improved, as well as overall performance.

Good performance so far

Boot times were drastically improved, as well as overall performance.

Excellent drive so far, great performance and lots of storage.

Performance was impressive enough, only to die after nearly two months.

But I would definitely recommend it for someone looking for a bit better performance and capacity on a budget

Good performance, excellent reliability

The performance is great, the only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the test of time is still pending.

the hard drive and the performance just wasn't what it should have been

SATA Internal Hard Drive is quick, performances extremely solid, and has excellent transfer rates.

Had an older PC that we wanted to upgrade to improve performance, speed, etc

Pulling that same standard image took 10:00, a significant time reduction and not unexpected performance with a pure SSD.Finally, the Seagate Firecuda 1GB drive.

If this thing ever completes and I somewhow get amazing gaming performance out of it, I'll be glad to come back and edit my review.

The performance has been a significant improvement over the 1 TB Seagate Barracuda it replaced and it is a LOT cheaper than an SSD.

On top of all this I got a deal for just $10 more than a 1tb hdd and the performance is worth it at least for me

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

It’s performance is crisp and very close to a full SSD

My computer’s overall performance has been greatly improved

This ideal for having a lot of memory with great performance at an affordable price :D

not exactly a SSD, but good performance for a HDD

Great value, awesome performance!

Great performance

Performance is excellent

Great performance and value.

Great performance!

Best size/performance drive for the money

Great performance using Adobe video/picture editing products

Performance is great!

Great performance with the capacity - what else could you ask for

I am sure it works like Seagate says, and it may be faster than a standard HD; however, i saw significant performance lags

Seems like performance is better across the board against comparable WD drives, and prices generally comparable or lower.

A standard 7200rpm hard drive reads and writes to the system directly (although it may have a small cache to improve performance).

I got this to get better gaming performance

However, the SSHD option gives you both solid performance AND higher storage capacities

Thousands of I/O Error according to DriveDX

Good as it described

Maybe now as fast as a true SSD but client needed speed and space.

Not as fast as a

Awesome, perfect price point , perfect capacity, easy setup, not as fast as an

For the ones that would run in Windows, it would start and then at some point start moving so slow as to never complete.

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

Again, not as great as my SSD, and not quite as great as I was hoping

Not as fast as a

While the lack of faster load times for programs was somewhat disappointing, my tests may have been flawed and I expect the FireCuda would make a better C: system drive than a programs drive.
