Break-Through Performance Barriers
A Richer Gaming Experience, Affordably Priced.
- A fraction of the cost of SSDs
- Eliminates firmware complexity and cost of SSD + HDD
- Easy, DIY install
- Backed by a 3-year warranty
- Fits any standard desktop
With a Seagate Desktop Solid State Hybrid Drive (SSHD) kit, you can experience SSD-like performance for a fraction of the cost. Desktop SSHD fuses solid state storage with a traditional hard drive to deliver the best of both worlds: Blazing-fast performance and high capacities at prices that work.
Solid State Speed. Hard Drive Budget.
Seagate Desktop SSHD leverages several gigabytes of NAND flash storage to deliver the performance benefits of solid state drives. Desktop SSHD is 4x faster than standard 7200 RPM hard drives*; it improves system-level performance by an average of 20%; and you'll get far faster bootups.
*As measured by PC Mark Vantage benchmark software.

AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the performance of the hard drive. They say it has solid performance, and an almost daily increase in speed and performance. They also say it runs like a new machine, and performs perfectly with no stutter. Boot times improved, and massive program load times improved tremendously. The system is running great, and the ultra fast SSD can give the slower hard drive faster web browsing and faster to launch applications.

With apologies to Seagate... This is an edited review from my previous 3 star one which expressed disappointment because I had higher expectations... A Seagate support rep left a comment to that one correctly stating that it would take a few reboots before higher speeds are achieved with this drive via the adaptive memory feature..... They were right and "I stand corrected". Being a fair minded person I find it necessary to "make it right" and try to explain as best as possible my own personal experience so that other people will not make the same initial "assumptions" that I did.
Like many people I leave my desktop PC on all the time so that automatic functions like system backups, virus/malware scans, Windows updates, maintenance functions etc. all can occur as scheduled on a regular basis. I should also note here before I go any further that my computer doesn't normally get rebooted very often unless a software installation or update requires it...... "It does now".
Also like many people I equated this drive with a full dedicated SSD and expected an almost instantaneous increase in speed and performance. But... "it doesn't work that way". Apparently some of us forget (as I did) or fail to notice the "H" in SSHD.
I'm using this on an HP TouchSmart 300-1125 with 64bit Windows 7. After using this drive for not quite 2 months now I am seeing an almost daily increase in speed and performance... Time will tell how fast it will actually get before it finally peaks out. I estimate that my speed increase to date is about 50-60% faster than before as I write this. Not as fast as a dedicated SSD (yet), but "much" faster than my original drive. Or any other regular "non" SSD or SSHD drive currently available for that matter.
First noticecable speed increase was with my "feature loaded" email program since I use it several times a day... I needed to do a software update on a different program that required a reboot and after that I noticed that my email seemed to start up just a bit faster than usual. With each reboot it seemed to get a little faster and faster... It used to take almost 2-3 full minutes to load all the way. Now it loads up in less than 5 seconds. Performance results with all the other programs that I normally use on a daily basis has produced pretty much the same results. Bootup and reboot times are now also less than half as long as they used to be. Needless to say, I now reboot my machine at least once a day "every day" and will continue to do so until I feel that performance has finally peaked.
The adaptive memory feature of this drive is the key to it's success and also (in my case) the cause of some confusion about how it actually works. It takes a few reboots before the drive starts to remember which functions that you do most often on your computer and then it stores that data on the "high speed" side of the drive using the NAND flash memory. Simply stated this drive "learns" which functions that are performed most often and then each time you reboot your PC it updates itself and your most often used programs start to run faster. here's a page that explains it: http://www.seagate.com/tech-insights/adaptive-memory-in-sshd-master-ti/
(Normal drive)
Possible read paths:
Direct from the platters
From the platters (cached in flash memory)
From the platters (cached in RAM)
Possible write paths:
Direct to the platters
Cached (and maybe consolidated for a more efficient write) in RAM, then written to the platters
Your data is put on the platter (one time!) and it stays there unless you change it (data loss due to defect is of course possible on any brand hardware). Error rates are about 1 bit per 10^14 (1 in about 11.37 TB).
SMR/MTC drives (Seagate) have a different strategy...
Possible SMR/MTC read paths:
Direct from the platters
From the platters (cached in RAM)
From the platters (cached somewhere else on the platters)
From the platters (cached in flash memory if drive includes flash)
Possible SMR/MTC write paths:
To the platters (but first we need to read* up to ~256MB and write* it somewhere else, then write* it all back with the changes)
Cached (and maybe consolidated for a more efficient write) in RAM, then written to the platters (possibly needing to do the above line)
Cached (and maybe consolidated for a more efficient write) in flash*, then written to the platters (possibly needing to do the first line)
Data sitting on the drive (platters) which you aren't changing AT ALL may be read*, re-written* somewhere else, then re-written* back to where it was.
The non-SMR, non-MTC ST1000DX001 (the drive I bought) takes the data you asked it to write and writes it, once. (subject to the 1 bit per 10^14 read/write error rate -- one time)
Other (Seagate) MTC/SMR drives (not the ST1000DX001) take your data and write/re-read/re-write it possible 1 time, likely 2 times, or possibly 4 (or even more times, see the [*] above). EACH of these reads/writes is subjected to the 1 bit per 10^14 read/write error rate EVERY time. They've effectively made a 5x+ increase in the error rate without doing anything to compensate for it. This also added a lot of complexity overhead (more opportunities for things to go wrong).
ST1000DX001, a drive with simple flash based read caching: would buy
MTC/SMR, a drive with complex platter(w/SMR) and flash/platter read/write caching: serious doubts about buying.

Si quisiera comprarlo actualmente sale más barato comprar un HDD tradicional de 4TB y un SSD de 1 TB que este disco.
Lo que sí es indudable es que lleva más de 4 años de lectura y escritura de datos constante (edición de video) y sigue funcionando excelentemente. También va en su segundo cambio de PC.
Si llegan a verlo en menos de 4 mil pesos, considero que es muy buena compra.
You play competitive stuff over&over this will give you ~almost SSD levels of loading time
Boot time is little faster
Basically it will be a SSD like drive for the stuff you usually do but a somewhat alright HDD for stuff you dont.
i want to sell my not even used once also, as my motherboard does not support 4tb

Si la diferencia de precio entre un disco mecánico tradicional y este es mínima, decantarse por esa tecnología SSHD es una buena opción.
Si te puedes permitir comprar un disco SSD para el sistema operativo y otro tradicional para tus datos, esta sería mejor opción.
En mi caso he instalado este disco junto con un SSD para darle un plus de velocidad a los juegos que no puedo instalar en el SSD por cuestiones de espacio y si que he notado una ligera mejoría respecto a mi configuración anterior.
