• Reviews around ssd (3.94 of 5)

    Seagate 2TB FireCuda Gaming SSHD SATA 6Gb/s Flash Accelerated (8GB) Performance Hard Drive (ST2000LX001)

    • Works amazingly, not too expensive as an SSD, but it has the capacity I need to go along my other 1TB in my laptop.
    • Works amazingly, not too expensive as an SSD, but it has the capacity I need to go along my other 1TB in my laptop.
    • Overall I'm happy, I researched drive types before I bought this, my computer boots with a 256gb SSD, so the hybrid SSHD works perfectly for extra storage and large program installations, definitely the way to go over a standard HDD.
    • Yes, it doesn't read as fast as an SSD
    • like an ssd.
    • This is a great SSHD, it is faster than my 7.2krpm HD I had, but not as fast as my SSD (which is expected).
    • When idle is almost as cool as my ssd beside.
    • SSD on consoles really don't seem worth it
    • Speed benefits aren't immediately recognized until the third or fourth time loading the same program then load times are with in 1-3 seconds of a much more expensive SSD
    • A full SSD (while ideal for a PS4 pro) is mechanically overkill (as well as a budget killer) since the PS4 can only read up toa SATA II
    • SSHD isn’t as fast as an SSD, but after a 5th load or more at a specific game or application the speed will be SSD like
    • The reviews said it was almost as good as an SSD
    • An affordable and worthwhile upgrade for anyone who is looking to maximize their storage space and obtain SSD Like Speeds for a small fraction of the price, when compared to SSDs of comparable capacity at least
    • Cheap and fast upgrade for any laptop that has a fast+small SSD in the m2 slot and needs further storage for games or movies.
    • Faster than most 7200 3.5" drives but not as fast as an SSD
    • You could buy a more expensive SSD, but the SATA2 interface will keep you from seeing speed benefits
    • A full SSD (while ideal for a PS4 pro) is mechanically overkill (as well as a budget killer) since the PS4 can only read up toa SATA II
    • No comparing how much faster an SSD is than this piece of garbage
    • Its like your SSD or M.2 SSD for video encoding
    • Works perfectly in my PS4 Pro - not quite as fast as an SSD, but a fraction of the price and much, much faster and larger capacity that the stock drive.

    • When idle is almost as cool as my ssd beside.
    • Not as fast as a SSD but much cheaper and way.more capacity.
    • After you load a game a few times, it loads just as snappy as a pure SSD
    • Real great Ssd .
    • In short, if you don't care about money at all and just want pure performance you have to go for pure SSD
    • I'm sure I'd get more speed increase with a pure SSD, but getting this much storage on an SSD would have been much higher price for a somewhat older system that might not take full advantage of the SSD's full capability, so it's a decent compromise
    • Another workstation using a Samsung 840 pro ssd with rapid turned on bliws both away in pretty much anything, but I prefer this drive in cost/performance to a pure ssd for the micro.
    • but even if it's not and you can't afford a big SSD this can be a good choice
    • If you are a gamer, the loading speeds will not be that of an actual SSD, but after a few times loading up the same game, the solid state portion of the drive will use it's cache to load the game up almost as fast as an SSD would
    • A full SSD (while ideal for a PS4 pro) is mechanically overkill (as well as a budget killer) since the PS4 can only read up toa SATA II
    • A good compromise between an expensive SSD and slower HDD.
    • It's clearly not as fast as a decent SSD, but it's far, far faster than a standard HDD, and the price is excellent.
    • This drive is nearly as fast as my internal SSD
    • I would recommend pairing with a good SSD as a boot drive and using this guy for storage but that's pretty standard knowledge nowadays.
    • I recommend this over a regular HDD any day if you can afford a SSD of the same capacity.
    • It is not, however, anywhere near as fast as a dedicated SSD, so if that's your expectation, look elsewhere
    • Love it, almost as fast as a SSD but twice the storage and half the cost.
    • do not buy this hdd, get a stable ssd or a better brand of hdd
    • The SSD is fast but small
    • Not quite as fast as a full SSD, but not bad at all
    • Not quite SSD speeds but for the price they can't be beat, and you can definitely tells it does learn the programs you use most frequently because those are getting close to that snappy SSD target.
    • it will no work on 6gb/s (only 3gb/s) and will be detected as overheatedAlready reported to Seagate, until now not firmware upgrade...
