Product ReviewsSeagate Laptop SSHD 500GB Internal 5400RPM 2.5" (ST500LM000) SSHD (Solid State Hybrid Drive)

Seagate Hybrid drive

I bid on and bought this used hybrid drive because the pure ssd drives are more expensive and have less storage space. That said I anticipated a somewhat increase in speed but nothing more than barely noticeable. Upon the hybrid drives arrival, i cloned the old mechanical drive to the hybrid and booted it up. The first boot up was almost as slow as the old setup but I was not surprised....at least everything appeared to be normal. However, I quickly started to notice the access times to programs appeared to be twice as fast. On subsequent start ups I noticed the boot times were much faster than I anticipated which to me were that of a pure SSD drive. I've had the drive for about a month and have enjoyed a very noticeably faster computer and saved a few bucks with this purchase. In my view the hybrid drive....although an attempt to rise a dead horse by the manufacturers....is an untold secret to a better computer experience.Read full review...

Dont expect SSD speeds

I bought this hybrid drive anticipating a speed up from my Toshiba 7200 rpm drive. It was ranked 5.9 under Windows experience speed test. I cloned the drive ,installed it and ran it 2 days then re ran the Windows experience tool. It showed up as a 5.9. I have NOT noticed ANY speed increase as of yet.
It seems to be no faster than my 7200 spindle rpm Toshiba drive. I removed it and bought a true SSD drive and it is VERY noticable the speed increase. If you are looking for a noticeable speed increase spend the money on a true SSD drive.Read full review...

Seagate Fire -Cuda

If you're looking for a increase in speed, without the high price tag, look no further. The Seagate SSHD is well worth the investment. You'll never go back to a standard HDD once you've tried one. I give it a A+Read full review...

.Great product,good shipping.Works great will order more in the future. 2 seconds to start windows completely. Playing games is great too. Very suprised with performance of ssd but for cheaper price tag. I would probably recommend you get this due to the price/preformance. Its amazing because i used on my desktop and working wonders it's ridiculous.Read full review...

Good deal

The drive works. And once it 'learns' what your most used files are, the speed is noticeable,

Sped up my tablet

I replaced dying hdd in my Inspiron 3147. Nice tablet/laptop. It sped it up and gave it a more solid run. Very happy.

Really sped up my laptop

The first of this type of drive I've owned. Worked better with extended use.

Half worked !

It's works but would not take and operating system but win vista , witch made it disappointing when I got it and tryed to load windows 7 ultimate on it ....... so I'd have to give it 3 star rating for that being I tryed every operating system from win xp to win 10 and only vista loaded .....Read full review...
