Pros: – Neat, tiny little SSHDD. – Barely weighs more than a normal SSD – Fast for a hybrid drive – Great Read and Write speed – Easy to install – Cheap – Spacious – Great for gaming on the go. – MTC Feature – Green Technology (definitely a battery saver) – Adaptive Memory Technology (very helpful on wife’s school laptop and Word documents) – 5 Year Warranty! – Super Thin Cons: – Still, has the HDD limitations when compared to SSDs Overall Review: I couldn’t find much to fault this little…

Pros: For the price, this is a great 2.5″ HDD that incorporates an 8GB MLC SSD cache. With a 7mm height it is small, lightweight, and great for thin devices that require a lower profile 2.5 HDD. It has a SATA3 6.0Gb/s interface, runs at 5400RPM, and operates extremely quiet with zero noticeable vibration noise. It comes with a 5 year warranty, which alone might be worth the extra $20-25 cost over the Barracuda drive with a 2 year warranty and no SSD cache. I tested this drive in a laptop,…

Pros: – Great warranty, five years. – Unbelievably thin and lightweight. – Great price for this amount of storage. You can feel the 8G cache on this drive; it really makes your laptop seem like a new machine. I didn’t have much hope that this would compare to the 200GB SSD I normally use in my test laptop, but I was pleasantly surprised that this drive held its own. Imagine that, an “old school” spinning drive approaching 70% of the throughput speed of an SSD? I had no issues cloning with…

Pros: • Inexpensive larger storage in a compact form • Solid state cache (good for frequent smaller file utilization) • Great warranty Cons: • Spindle storage is on the way out • Speeds don’t compare to SSDs that continue to drop in price • 5400 RPM speed allows the drive to run cooler, but at a very noticeable speed hit • SSD cache needs to be “trained” over time to see any speed boost • SSD cache is too small to really see any benefit in today’s giant game installs • Bare drive no cables…

Pros: – Great price and very good warranty. – As fast as SSD’s most of the time. – Hasn’t caused system pauses/lock ups as more recent full MLC SSD’s have for me in the past. Cons: Runs like more recent MLC SSD’s, but better at times, after cache is full the speed will drop down to its base 5400rpm hard drive or sub-hard drive performance while writing, but thats not remotely as bad as the performance drop in newer SSDs (see other thoughts). Only the SSD cached files or most recently used…

Pros: SSHD with 8Gb of solid state storage 128mb cache buffer 1TB storage capacity (931gb after formatting) SATA 6Gb/s NCQ and SMART support Data transfer rate of up to 140mb/s Average latency of 5.6ms Green Hybrid features 5 year warranty Good price Quiet and cool Cons: 5400rpm spindle speed No real speed improvements over vanilla 5400rpm HHD Overall Review: SSHD stands for solid state hybrid drive, this is a traditional hard disk with a small amount of solid state storage built in. The…

Pros: A reasonably fast 5.4k rpm hard drive, even without the flash acceleration. When used in an application where smaller files are routinely accessed, the flash acceleration can provide a dramatic performance increase. Runs cool and quiet. The five-year warranty tips the scale to a definite thumbs-up. Cons: With larger programs and files, the 8GB flash memory will be filled quickly, and you’ll be back dealing with 5.4k rpm speeds, which, in this day and age, is a major bottleneck. This…

Pros: Great replacement drive for a laptop. Should deliver fast boot times, a big cache to speed up read latency, possibly better laptop battery performance because the drive could cache data to the SSD and only spin up the platters when it needs to, and large capacity for games or video/music content. Cons: The 500gb model is priced strangely. For less than two times the cost, you can get four times the capacity. I’m not sure who would buy the 500gb model. Would not recommend this drive…
