Review: A Great Alternative To SSD - Well it came time to upgrade my aging PC hard drive and I was originally going to get an SSD but after a lot of research I decided to opt for an SSHD instead....but why? The reason is that in theory at least the SSHD provides the sweet spot in cost versus speed versus volume. The right solution for you will depend on how you use your PC. I am primarily a gamer with a large library who tends to play a few games for a long time and this means that all I really need is a large drive capable of loading a few programs quickly and this is exactly what this SSHD provides. The relatively small amount (8GB) of NAND memory is enough to store and quickly load my Windows 8.1 OS and my favorite games. The SSHD uses built in algorithms to identify which files are used most often and stores them in the NAND for quick retrieval. So to get the most out of your SSHD as quickly as possible it's a good idea to reboot your computer and your favorite programs often during the first few days of use. This is what I have been doing for the past few days(about a dozen reboots) and I'm noticing a marked reduction in PC boot and game launch times already. So far my average PC boot time (power on to desktop) has went from 45 seconds to 36 which is fantastic and better than I could have hoped for and game launch times are also down although this is difficult to measure precisely but I'd guess about 5-10 seconds on average. Another benefit of this SSHD is the ease of installation. I purchased this to replace my stock 1 TB Toshiba HDD that has served me well these last two years and has a lot valuable data on it. The plan was to clone it and replace it with the SSHD keeping the original as a backup. Everything went smoothly and after cloning it was very easy just to unplug and remove the old HDD from the PC and slide in the SSHD without the drama of caddies or adapters. All I had to do was plug in the SATA power and data cables and reboot the PC. To my relief the SSHD was instantly recognised by the BIOS and OS( windows 8.1) and booted as normal and all my precious files were there and working perfectly too! In summary this is a great SSHD at a very reasonable price and would highly recommend it to others IF they use their PC in the same way I do. So remember there is no one size fits all solution. The best product for you depends on how you use your PC, what speed you want/need and how much you are willing to pay. I hope this helps anyone planning to upgrade their HDD to make an informed decision. Good luck.
Review: Quiet and good performance - Nicely impressed with this. Used as part of a PC upgrade to replace an existing barracuda hard drive. This drive is extremely quiet and is an excellent compliment to the relatively small SSD used to boot windows 10 with documents and games installed on this drive. Computer runs very smoothly and games are still pretty quick to load. Supposedly the software from Seagate is very good at choosing which files to put on the SSD bit (using latency as well as usage).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Upgrade (Fast)
*by K***W on 17 June 2017*

My 2TB Hybrid Firecuda arrived yesterday, and installed it as a secondary drive in my asus rog replacing my 7200rpm 1TB drive. I have a 500gb SSD primary and I was a bit worried the new drive would make no difference ‘or’ even perform worse being that it is 5400 rpm. I am so glad I researched and took advice from one of the reviewers and purchased this drive. As a secondary drive it launches applications and games faster than the 7200, I have a few games, as ell as Microsoft office on my secondary, and they are very fast in loading and data transfer is unbelievable. I am a very happy bunny at the moment, I have increased the capacity of my storage and gained a very noticeable increase in loading times of both apps and games. The drive is silent, and so far, the ROG is running a degree or so cooler than normal, around 28 C, (this is with an Opolar clamped on the side of the laptop, was running at around 30-32C before drive swap with the Opolar (Temp outside today in UK 24C at time of writing. Therefore this drive “may” help in very slight temp reduction, but more time is needed before I can be sure. I did not bother cloning, I just initialised the new drive using windows (10), un-hid all the files on my 1TB secondary drive that windows restricts, and did a straight copy to the new drive, and installed the new drive (remembering to change the Drive letter to the original drive I had just replaced). To sum up, It is fast, (cooler*)and silent, I just wish Seagate still did the 32gb Hybrid Nand version, as that thing is a stonker, and is still powering my daughters laptop lighting fast. Good quality, I like them, and would recommend to anyone who wants to upgrade a primary OR secondary drive in a laptop.
