Pros: Faster boot time over standard HDD (to fully usable state) Much cheaper per GB than an SSD Fits in laptops or desktops (although you may need an adapter for your desktop, this is a bare drive). Cons: Whether of not there are cons depends on what you’re comparing it against: 5400 HDD – No cons, you come out ahead in read/write times 7200 HDD – Pretty much break even in read/write times SSD – Much slower, no contest Overall Review: I cloned this and three other drives with the same…

Pros: Testing a hybrid drive is tricky, because the speed benefits come only when data is already present in the SSD portion of the drive. As a demonstration, the following data shows that in pure theoretical speed tests, the drive offers little over a typical hard drive: Crystal Disk Mark (average of 4 runs) (SATA 6Gbps) Sequential (MB/s): 103.575 (read); 114.05 (write) 512K (MB/s): 41.59 (read); 63.77 (write) 4K (MB/s): .70725 (read); 1.0385 (write) The 4K numbers in particular are orders…

Pros: Uses an 8GB SSD built in partition as a cache drive for a 500GB standard HDD. 7mm Height to fit in the laptops that accept the smallest 2.5″ drives. Absolutely zero extra work for the consumer. Treat it like a regular hdd. A good price for what you get, which is, ssd like boot up times, and a faster initial launch of your programs. Everything isnt faster, but a lot is. I have been on the SSD bandwagon for the past 3 years and have upgraded for myself and my customers many times. I love…

Pros: I was a bit cautious going into using a solid state hybrid drive; I’d never used one before, but I’ve used plenty of SSDs and platter drives. This drive performed exceptionally well for what I was expecting, averaging decent read and write speeds on the platters. The maximum write speeds over USB 3.0 and SATA III were around 110 MB/s in both read and write, with an average speed of 89 MB/s. Being a hybrid drive, some aspects of benchmarking were much more difficult to track. The…

Pros: Fast program loading Quiet during high use Cons: No change in OS boot time Overall Review: This laptop drive replaced my failing primary drive in my desktop. My computer is primarily used as a Windows Media Center server. Below are some basic info about my computer using this drive: Windows 7 x64 AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2ghz 6GB Memory After installing this drive I installed a new copy of Windows on the drive then imported my user data using Windows Easy Transfer utility. With this…

Pros: – Drastically Improved boot times over HDD – Improved load times of frequently used programs – Runs cool – Quiet – Huge amount of storage capacity – 3 year warranty – Solid Read and Write speeds for a 5400 RPM drive – Large cache – Well packaged – Vastly improved reliability over first gen hybrid drives Cons: – Slower file transfer speeds than a good 7200rpm drive. When testing I saw avg Read times of 101.2MB/s and avg Write times of 99.9 MB/s. Not bad at all but not great – Very slow…

Pros: Very fast read/write speeds, sustained write above 120MBps – great for network backups as a hot swap disc – would also be great in a laptop as a data drive/game drive. Cons: Not a 7200 RPM disc. Would definitely increase the read speeds with a faster HDD. Seek times of non-cached data are that of a 5400 RPM 2.5″ drive, keep that in mind. Overall Review: We’re using these drives as hot-swap backup drives for servers in a datacenter. Cheaper than SAS and SSD, faster than SATA plus good…

Pros: Updating eggxpert review from 4-15-13. Cons: After about 7 months, this drive has failed. About a month ago the drive was noticeably louder and today the drive has completely failed. Overall Review: Sad to see such a failure with HDD warranties getting shorter these days…
