Abstract: Now that the prices of SSDs have dropped to well below 50 cents per GB, we expect that only few Hardware.Info readers will still want to use a conventional hard drive as their primary storage device. We still can't quite live without them, however, beca...
Abstract: Most of our avid readers of course have at least one SSD in their desktop and laptop, but for large volume storage you're still relegated to conventional hard disks. It's almost become a negative connotation - 'conventional' - and it really doesn't do t...

The Laptop Thin SSHD is one of the most accessible hybrid storage solutions to date. By combining a basic 5,400RPM hard disk with an 8GB MLC NAND cache, Seagate has created a low-cost drive that offers the capacity of a hard disk and the performance bene...

Abstract: W e're big fans of the Seagate Momentus XT concept, which offers some of the performance advantages of an SSD drive for only marginally more money than a purely physical mechanism. This is a new variation on that hybrid design (or SSHD: Solid State Hybrid...
The Seagate Laptop Thin SSHD is indeed faster than conventional hard disks in the PCMark real-life benchmarks, but doesn't reach the level of SSD performance. The SSD cache enables the disk to write very quickly, but reading will usually occur from the ...
Build Quality, Ideal For OS Use (SSD-Like Performance For Cached Files), Size Factor (2.5"/7mm), Temperatures, Power
Mid-End Overall Performance (Un-Cached),
Initially the Laptop Thin SSHD 500GB was to be tested with our usual benchmark suites just like every drive in the past but since as you can all see it didn't really do well we decided to also use PCMark 7 mainly because it simulates real-world usage and ...
It is hard to verify the real advantage of a hybrid hard disk drive. Synthetic tests don't take advantage of the SSD portion, since the drive controller only places data there when it “learns” it is frequently accessed. But even in those tests, the Laptop...

Does the job when it comes to application and operating system loading, otherwise its just mechan...
Excellent overall performance from a very thin form factor SSHD, Outstanding performance when considering Cost/GB, Caching works full time, without the need for any configuration or driver,
Cache size is smaller than we'd like to see in a 3rd generation Hybrid.
Seagate appears to be leading the way in the mobile Hybrid drive market. Each and every generation has pushed the envelope further and come closer to native SSD speeds. The catch is those speeds are only attained for data that is in the cache, and the...
