The 500GB Seagate Laptop Thin SSHD is available to purchase from Scan Computers
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...
Abstract: SSDs are a hot market right now; they offer the most direct, tangible boost to overall performance and system responsiveness on a level that hasn't been seen since the migration away from single-core processors. If you have used a system that had the OS &...
Offers significant speed up for repeated tasks, such as loading programs; fair price assuming the usage pattern matches its strengths
Makes loud ticking noises at times, speed benefits offered by hybrid design are limited to repeated tasks

Better performance than standard 5400RPM and 7200RPM hard drives, Better performance than previous generation Seagate SSHD, Not all that more expensive than a standard 500GB hard drive, 8GB MLC Nand Flash, 7mm height
Would be interesting to see what a higher rotational speed and more NAND flash memory could do for you, Please drop by the Bigbruin.com Forum and feel free to post any comments or questions
During my meeting with Seagate at CES 2013, they mentioned they were going to phase out the manufacturing of standard 2.5" drives and focus on developing the SSHD market. In addition, they were going to stop producing 7200RPM drives and focus on 5400RPM u...
For those that can afford an SSD our advice remains the same: buy one. A dedicated SSD will always provide the best performance available. If looking to accelerate a device that has dual drive bays we would recommend other caching solutions with more capa...

Users with machines requiring 7mm height drives who find the price of large capacity SSDs hard to swallow now have a very nice alternative with Seagate's Laptop Thin SSHD which combines large capacity and low cost with performance that oftentimes mat...
From a purely technological standpoint, the Laptop Thin SSHD is an impressive accomplishment. Seagate has stuffed 500GB of mechanical storage and 8GB of flash memory into a 7-mm notebook drive that's slim enough to make a supermodel jealous. The NAND is ...
In the end everything comes down to user experience. Most of a typical user’s experience hinges on quick boot times and fast application launching. Both of these things are accomplished in SSD like fashion when you are running a Seagate Laptop Thin SSH...
Slimmer "Thin" 7mm design works with more devices, Inexpensive starting price, 18% faster in HTPC workloads and 54% faster in Gaming workloads than previous generation model
Still limited to 8GB NAND flash, 5,400RPM platter component offers lower uncached data transfer speeds
Seagate's 500GB SSHD Thin drive at 7mm is a wallet-friendly alternative for users seeking new technology that provides low-power consumption, serious performance gains over conventional HDDs when in cache, and overall solid value per gigabyte. ...
