Pros: I wanted to test this drive as the single drive in a gaming computer, for both boot and data/apps. An alternate way to use this drive might be in a dual drive setup, with a fast but small boot SSD and then this drive for data and games. That would be a good way to get more storage that is faster than a regular data hard drive, without the expense of buying a large SSD. I had no problems cloning the drive and getting windows to boot. I use a handful of older steam games like portal2 and…

Pros: Renamed Seagate Hybrid SSHD. Same drive, latest controller firmware. The best solution for single drive performance desktop on a budget. SSDs today still are at least 3x the cost of a Spinning HD. So if you’re on a budget there aren’t many options to build a computer with a decent amount of storage and great storage performance. Either you buy a SSD or a performance hard drive. SSD is expensive (or you buy a small one). Performance hard drives are still lots slower than SSDs. OK, this…

Pros: In summary: this drive does make loading files you use frequently faster (including Windows/OS files and programs) and after some learning time it feels like an SSD depending on how you use it. The hard drive part of it also has the large capacity you’d expect from a traditional hard drive. However, as I’ll describe below, you get some of the pros of both SSDs and HDDs while getting the cons of both. It’s definitely a compromise and whether or not it’s worth it really depends on the…

Pros: FIVE Year warranty Price Speed SSHD’s have matured I can’t hear it Cons: The only cons associated with any hard drive would be: Noise, Slow Speeds and Failures This Seagate exhibits none of these so far Synthetic benchmarks are placed here due to allowed character count in the review. I compare the FireCuda to my 2TB WD Black HD Tune: ST2000DX002-2DV164 Transfer Rate Minimum : 99.3 MB/sec Transfer Rate Maximum : 214.4 MB/sec Transfer Rate Average : 170.1 MB/sec Access Time : 12.1 ms…

Pros: Big Storage – 2 TB of storage + 8 GB SSD Great price point – just under $105 for 2TB SSHD 5 Year Warranty! – long warranty period means Seagate quality and they back up this product for a long time! Works with SATA connections – SATA 6GB/s, 3GB/s & 1.5GB/s (although I’d recommend SATA 6GB/s connections to get FULL potential out of this hard drive 7200 RPM HD + SSD – looks, feels and the same size as a traditional hard drive even though it has additional NAND technology SSD inside Very…

Pros: The Seagate FireCuda SSHD 2TB hard drive is an interesting hybrid drive with some of the benefits of the speed of solid state drives and the storage capacity of conventional magnetic storage. The flash memory capacity is 8 GB and offers good access and transfer times if the needed data is stored there. The spinning drive part is a 7200 RPM drive with 64 MG cache, so it performs well even if the flash memory portion is not filled with the needed data. I use this drive primarily for…

Pros: 1. Came in a box with nice bubble wrap (static safe!) 2. 1.81 TB of space (this is good). 3. 5 year warranty! This means Seagate stands by their product! This is GREAT! Cons: 1. Only one Con.. Speed is slooooow. Overall Review: This drive is advertised as 5x faster than a 7200 RPM drive. Nope! Crystal Disk Mark stats below: Seq (Q32T1): 169 / 198 4k (Q32T1): 1.6 / 4.8 Seq: 197 / 202 4k: 0.89 / 4.8 So, this would be good for a storage drive only. But… I really can’t recommend this for…

Pros: To try this out I saved all of my games to this drive but did not use this as my boot drive. As you frequently open the same game or application again and again I can say that I did notice faster load times. I did not test this but if you were to install you’re OS installed on this, you’ll certainly see improvement as you continue to reboot as other reviewers have mentioned. I’m giving it 4 stars because it does what it says and isn’t a bad value but as you’ll see in the cons, I don’t…
