## Overview

The Seagate 500GB 2.5-inch Laptop Solid State Hybrid Drive (SSHD) merges the rapid access speeds of solid state technology with the high capacity of traditional hard drives. Featuring 4× faster performance than standard 7200 RPM drives, SATA-600 compatibility, and adaptive caching technology, it delivers significantly faster boot times and improved system responsiveness. Designed for seamless laptop integration without OS or driver dependencies, this hybrid drive offers a cost-effective upgrade that balances speed, capacity, and durability for professional millennials seeking efficient, reliable storage solutions.

## Description

From the manufacturer Break Through Performance Barriers Now, with a Seagate Laptop Solid State Hybrid Drive (SSHD), you can experience the fast performance of a solid state drive for a fraction of the cost. 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 on a hard drive budget Seagate Laptop SSHD leverages several gigabytes of NAND flash technology to deliver the performance benefits of solid state drives. SSHD is 4× faster than standard 7200 RPM hard drives*; they improve system-level performance by an average of 20%; and you'll get far faster bootups. *As measured by PC Mark Vantage benchmark software. Capacity without compromise Solid state drives are typically only affordable in very low capacities, but there's no need to compromise with Laptop SSHD. Choose from 500GB and 1TB models at prices that make sense. Works in any laptop Seagate Laptop SSHD installs and communicates with your laptop exactly like a standard hard drive. SSHD is fully compatible with standard SATA technology, and there's no need to worry about what OS you're using: SSHD is OS-, driver- and software- independent. Windows 8 bootups in less than ten seconds Seagate Laptop SSHD delivers the 'instant-on' experience you crave, cutting boot times by 40-60% compared to standard hard drives. Plus, with Windows 8 support you'll experience a new standard in responsiveness: Startup-to-ready in less than ten seconds. Performance that adapts to you Seagate Adaptive Memory technology is the secret to Laptop SSHD's stunning responsiveness. This software learns what data you use most then copies it to the drive's solid state memory where it can be accessed in an instant. Rock-solid reliability By blending solid state storage with a traditional hard drive, Laptop SSHD reduces the wear issues associated with both technologies. Mechanical wear and tear to the hard drive is reduced since frequently-used data gets stored in the solid state memory. This also reduces wear on the solid state memory by minimizing the frequency of data erasures and rewrites. Rest easy knowing that your Seagate Laptop SSHD will help protect your precious data even as it delivers mind-blowing performance.

Review: Great quality for good price + no problems with the ... - Great quality for good price + no problems with the ssd price per gb. Worked perfectly on first boot - as expected. I fitted it on an old Acer 5750g laptop, and sshd is much faster than the old hdd. Quicker system start, waking it up from the sleep mode is nearly instant, helped Serato DJ a bit as well (especially when downloading tracks in the background and playing music at the same time). I do not think I couldget much more from buying an SSD drive for such an old laptop, and for much better price SSHD made all the difference I needed. The only issue I've had, was when I wanted all of my mp3 files from a certain library (+/- 300 songs) to have their context data indexed (need to be able to search for data contained in IDtags) - took a while to process, surprisingly long I'd say. Still - likely be an issue with the OS rather than hardware itself, and I only do it every now and then - definitely a 5 star product.
Review: First Class SSHD - A quick [re]search shows that this Seagate SSHD drive (Model STBD1000400) is just a repackaged version of the most popular SSHD model ST1000LM014 from Seagate, and perhaps appropriately tagged as '#1 Best Seller' here on desertcart. You normally pay slightly more for the glossy package, a.k.a 'Retail Kit', as opposed to a frustration free OEM package for the ST1000LM014, unless you catch it at the right time (which fortunately I did by chance) with a [strange] price fluctuation sometimes getting even cheaper than the ST1000LM014. This drive definitely made a difference to the operational speed of my laptop as files are accessed faster so in that sense it is better than the conventional HDD. The price difference between HDD and SSHD is quite significant (£30-£40); the question therefore arises, is the performance gain worth the price differential? Also note that the speed increase depends on caching where most accessed data is cached in the 8GB SSD memory. If somehow you change the drive geometry by defragmentation or disk formatting, then the SSHD is back to HDD. You have to use your system again so that the SSHD will re-learn the caching process to boost the file transfer by utilising the SSD cache. There are some caveats to the SSD cache: (1) the 8GB size must be too limiting considering HDDs use 3x to 4x this for buffering anyways; (2) not everybody's file access patterns are identical so for the limited SSD cache benefits could be varied from application to application; if file data changes often then the benefit of the SSD cache will be minimal; (3) the SSD has a limited life-span for write operation (this SSHD clearly labelled with 3-year limited warranty) so the implication is that of back to HDD if the SSD wears out in 3 years or so. So, is the price mark-up in the order of 60-80% for SSHD over HDD worth the benefits (which are not even guaranteed as the performance is much dependent on the statistical nature of file data being accessed)? Very hard to answer as there are many unknowns to have a more objective assessment. This is one of those approaches that require 'cut and try' method. Try it and see if it works for you. What works for me may not work for you at all. Saying that I'm somewhat convinced it works for me. I use the SSHD in a laptop often used for Visual Studio based Windows programming whereby a large number program files are loaded but only a small percentage changes over a given time. This makes it ideal for SSD cache to step in with the non-changing files and hence making the access as close to the SSD drive. I can clearly see the difference between this SSHD and HDD I had before. I hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic!
*by T***T on 4 April 2014*

My laptop HD died on me so I bought this Hybrid drive to replace it. It is every bit as good as the advertising claims. I reckon my laptop now boots in about half the time - 15 seconds, and shuts down almost instantly. Also, the machine comes out of sleep in a couple of seconds. An undocumented advantage is that Internet connections are also noticeably faster, presumably because much of the cacheing is done via the SSD. I've had it for a couple of months now with no issues. So why only 4 stars? Seagate haven't really thought these drives out. The HD part defragments just as much as any other HD. Mine is currently 38% fragmented - which would have been crippling on anything other than a Hybrid drive. But you can't defragment without compromising the SSD. Every defragmentation shortens the life of the SSD and also temporarily slows it down since defragtmentation destroys it's 'memory' of what you do most often. The simplest solution would be a utility that temporarily suspended the operation of the SSD until you had finished defragmenting the HD. So far as I know, no such utility exists. The only solution is the unsatisfactory one of defragmenting much less frequently than the state of the HD requires. This nees sorting!
