I run two in my setup and the drive is perfect for gaming and or large files. If you just want good storage and can't justify an SSD due to capacity of the current ssd's than this SSHD is certainly the way to go.

Fast performance, 2.5" size allows you to mount vertical easily in SSD bracket/mounts; You can YouTube videos on boot with a comparison of this side by side with an SSD and HDD booting up, and this guy performed well

Best value is when it's on sale like now under $140; Cheaper even better but essentially no cons to note yet; Can run warm at 40-45 C and I've very mounted 2 side x side on the back of an Enthoo Evolv ATX glass

I have bought 4 or 5 of these now, and I keep coming back to it because of its price. It offers faster performance than a standard HDD (about 2x as fast in my experience), and still has quite a bit of storage space.

- Performs about 2x as fast as a regular HDD; in my experience

- A 1TB HDD can be bought for the same price

I installed the firecuda in my ps4pro, it was easy and perfect for making my ps4pro super fast now!!! With it being a hybrid SSHD!!!it's an amazing upgrade. And by super fast, I MEAN very very fast!!!! Thank you so so much!!! VERY MUCH WORTH my money!!! I have 2.

Hard drive is definitely quicker. Used to upgrade ps4 drive and games now load noticeably faster. Reasonably priced for a quality hard drive. Look no further

I bought this drive to compliment the storage I already have and so that I'm not cycling my game library so much. Went for this because it was Seagate's "top of the line" mechanical drive as a hybrid mechanical/SSD, though having to buy it in 2.5 inch format since that was the one bay I had...

Nice One

Bought to house in an external USB case and plug into a PlayStation 4 as an extra drive. After copying a game from the main drive to this I found games loaded up in 30 seconds that used to take over a minute. Of course this is noticed only after the second time of use, since the SSD part has cached.

recommend use only like OS system hard drive for the fast boot operation Do not save critical data on Seagate!

good price for SSHD drive fast speed; like; for hard drives

usually, stop working after 3-4 month; in my case from 10 drives - 3 stopped working in 4 months. Some time problem with Hybrid on this hard drive; some files can disappear suddenly

I will never know if this hard disk is as great as they say it is. Sadly the Macbook Pro I want to install it in supports up to SATA II and Seagate in their wisdom have configured this drive so it is not backwards compatible and will only work with a SATA III controller.

works a treat thanks team
