I've worked with a lot of both hard drives and solid state drives in the past and most have been pretty good

While the drive is slower than a solid state drive, it's definitely faster than a regular HDD and it seemed to self-optimize, becoming faster over time

Internal Solid State Drive - CT525MX300SSD1

Though at full price if your latop can take two drives I'd rather get a standard 1Tb hardrive and a 120gb solid state drive.

Works great for a speedy windows 10 start up without spending the extra money on a solid state

It's a solid state hard drive

As quick as most solid state drives and now my laptop is no longer memory challenged.

I would suggest buying the Seagate mechanical drive or the solid state drive over the hybrid one

The MacBook has been upgraded in terms of RAM from the paltry 4GB Apple says it can handle to 16GB, battery (AETY), and now this SSHD (Solid State Hybrid Drive)

I don't see much benefit from the automatic solid state caching system, as the OS is on a smaller SSD, so I use it as a regular drive

They give you near the speed of a solid state drive with the price per gig of a 5400rpm standard Hard Drive.

But the main reason I got it is because of the Solid State cache, it is expected to speed up some games after several uses, I've seen the speed improve on the TV/Media apps that happen to take even minutes to load on the stock hard drive and now are way more responsive

I assume the solid state portion is what died

Hybrid drives are fairly new and have not been proven like solid state drives or mechanical drives.

It's a solid state hard drive

Any access time/speed increases from the solid state portion are lost on the rest of the drive being only 5400rpm.

I went ahead a bought a solid state drive to replace it

This thing starts off slow untill the computer decides what it needs to put into the solid state to make the computer so much faster

A nice compromise between solid state and a regular SATA drive

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

Very much faster than my old non-solid state 1TB drive

This is NOT A SOLID STATE hard drive

The solid-state cache doesn't seem to alleviate any problems, not sure how it works technically

I purchased this hard drive from the recommendation of my IT guy who said it's a cheaper alternative to Solid State Hard Drives but more reliable than the spinny ones.

2.5 Solid State Hybrid Drive in #6 (note spikes in read speed squashed the visible curve).I can't recomend (or keep) this Firecuda drive.

2TB is more than enough for what I needed and it boots faster than a regular hard drive, but not as fast as a solid state drive.

Reason for getting this drive is that I could get this for less than a SSD, plus it's a SSHD (Solid-State Hybrid Drive) that has the performance between a regular drive and an SSD

The Solid state cache part is just too small to be useful as it doesn't have the capacity to hold a frequent use game on it

Here's the best part: the solid state caching cuts load times in half

This is the new, if not improved, version of Seagate's Solid State Hybrid Drive

I purchased this hard drive from the recommendation of my IT guy who said it's a cheaper alternative to Solid State Hard Drives but more reliable than the spinny ones.

The solid state cache really only helps boot time.

This is NOT A SOLID STATE hard drive

it will no work on 6gb/s (only 3gb/s) and will be detected as overheatedAlready reported to Seagate, until now not firmware upgrade...

I receive my new Seagate 2T hard drive today and low and be hold it came in a un-label brown box not very impressed on how they present there merchandise

t's a gimmick

Not as fast as

These are a fraction of the cost of an SSD, and work just as brilliantly

But as for faster than the stock hard drive?

Works as it should.

It works exactly as I expect a SSHD to work
