Seagate SSHD 2.5″ Hybrid Hard Drive review and opinion.
Hey guys, so here i am sharing my tests and comparison between the Seagate SSHD 2.5″ Hard Drive vs a mechanical Hard Drive and a SSD
Results are really nice specially when we consider the prices that we pay for a SSHD vs a SSD with the same capacity.
In terms of real world usage as you guys can see on the graphics and on the recorded videos with timings, the SSHD from Seagate can reach almost the same performance than the SSD in situations such as boot times and opening aps. And compared with a mechanical HDD the difference and the user experience is huge.
Hope you guys enjoy the video and that its helpful for those that are in the same situation as i was.
All the Best

Good stuff. SUB + bell
Does an SSHD 1tb for €60 combined with an HDD 3TB for €99 sound like a good thing in my HP Compaq 6370b laptop? I’m going all out on this thing xD the 3tb hdd is going in the DVD expansion with an adapter.
GREAT SONG who is the band?
thank you. and you have good english)
Hey great video, I purchased this drive for my PS4 Pro a couple of days ago and it just works great. Load time has decreased a fair amount, but it’s dropping all the time. Would love to try them in an nas to see how fast they are. Although nowadays they are becoming scarce in stores. Great drives if you can get your hands on them.
A HDD sees the blocks and not the files…
Esse cara é brasileiro né não olha esse sotaque
Nice video. Not sure why y’all folks been tripping about some 10s tho… It is true that large SSDs are expensive, but 250-500Gb are pretty affordable. Sit tight and save up for a few months to get you a better drive, not a hybrid. Also with some laptops replacing the DVD drive with a hard drive is available (Asus, Lenovo, etc).
Thanks for the information, my computer is in dire need for new c drive, it keeps nagging to buy new one with more space.
Do you have tutorial how to install new c drive?
Sorry, but ssd prices put me in primary os territory, particularly where we are speaking of quantity and not quality. My money goes to primary os and not gaming systems.
Flash memory? ? !!! Oh the NAND is 8 gigabytes for most frequently used! I understand what you’re referring 8GB to.
so should i get the sshd or ssd + hdd?
SSHD all the way, they are dirt cheap now. I picked up a brand new 1 TB Seagate Hybrid on craigslist for 40 bucks. My old 7200 1TB took 36 seconds to boot windows 10. After 5 reboots my SSHD is down to 16 seconds.
How about you stop talking about price vs performance and start talking about performance and LIFESPAN!!! Why isn’t anyone talking about SSHD lifespan on the internet!!!
Ver y smart hard drive great
I know SSDs and SSHDs perform better and that’s all I need to know in terms of speed. I just want to know an average lifespan comparison between all 3 drive types. As far as I’m concerned, I need to know whether SSDs or SSHDs last longer.
Save your money and get a WD Black, Firecuda was poop
your voice is giving me hard time to listen….so what’s your conclusion?
Don’t SSHD just constantly write to the disk in the background?
I have been using the same SSHD with I7 processor for past 2 year and working on heavy architectural softwares, although previously it was working just good, now i feel like i need a faster processor, and even photoshop is getting hang sometimes. Do you think SSHD is still a better solution for heavy softwares?
The music is badass!!
is it compatible with mac book pro late 2011
Can you combine a SSHD with a SSD?
Song?
WD 4TB BLUE SSHD (5400 rpm) vs SEAGATE FIRECUDA 2TB SSHD (7200 rpm) vs WD 4TB BLACK HDD (7200rpm), which is faster?
Which one is better?
1 TB HDD 7200RPM
1 TB + 8 GB SSHD 5400RPM
Very good compromise. Just tried to get an info if they were worth it and everybody are claiming it’s better to get an ssd while I’m sure they never even had or tested an sshd themselves. Also everybody are claiming stuff about the sshd that are completely false such as they are not that much faster than an hdd. I mean, according to your speed test, they are way closer to an ssd than an hdd. Also, if you can get the 4 times the capacity for the same price of an ssd, they are totally worth it imo. I think I’ll get one at some point. Cheap ssd for windows, sshd for games and apps, hdd for files.
hi how can I find out my laptop hard is sshd or hdd?!! help me please
Nice video, subbed. I’ll go for SSHD, because SSD is shit, I need some time to eat at least.
The Seagate will increase load time of applications once it realizes you use those frequently and it is stored in the internal nand. Plus you get 8x the storage capacity.
Can anybody recommend an SSHD at either 1tb or 2tb that still has a 7200RPM speed? What is the speed of the seagate tested here in the video?
i have 256gb ssd and a 1tb harddrive..shud i get 2tb sshd firecuda hardrive or 4tb hdd??
Is it worth to add SSD in my setup? I have HDD 1TB 5400rpm with 8gb ram and intel i7 6500u. I mostly use my laptop for multimedia.
If this is faster than regular mechanical hdd then it would be best value
I am using 1TB 8gb sshd right now since 1.5yrs on my laptop .
I dnt care about capacity I only need speed so I am thinking about 256gb ssd.
So does it worth?
I mean new 8gb RAM or 256Gb SSD which will be more beneficial to me?
current specification : 1X8gb ram 1 slot empty
WD 1TB+8GB SSHD 5400RPM
Is the SSHD worth it, Well I can say No. At least in my system the SSHD by Seagate is like watching paint dry. SSD for the boot drive or even better M.2 for boot and if one is going to use a mechanical HDD I would use a 1 TB WD Velocity Raptor they are faster than the SSHD, but sadly no longer manufactured so 1 TB SSD instead.
My laptop only had 1 bay so was looking at sshd. But since I will also want to transfer big videos files from an external source, eg 70gb, I think I will have to bite the bullet and spend the money on an ssd.
