Less power consumption and decent battery life. A pat to Seagate on this one.Ĭool operation compared to previous Gen Momentus XT 7200 RPM I guess that the SSHD uses pretty high quality NAND cache with Read speeds over 400MB/s. As result I ran the benchmark 3~5 times, but the results were consistent. At first I was astonished to see bursts of 450MB/s. I have attatched ATTO disk mark screenshots for you. However, the substained speeds and long file transfers still remain a dream. I am finally getting the pleasure of High end RAID array on a laptop. Regular programs like Opera Browser, Messenger, Open office, Desktop widgets, system monitor pop up in a blink. And soon enough, its true after a couple of Restarts, the system boots to desktop in 22 sec. Perhaps the performance will open up after the Drive LEARNS usage patterns and caches them. The Maximum Temperature I had seen was 46.c after a full days of Excersize. The copy was from SONY 1TB USB 3 HDD which gave speeds of around 45~65 MB/s. Quite longer than I had expected but system was rock stable. I started in the Morning at 7.30 and the copy had suceeded by night 9pm. I Started copying my well over 800GB of DATA. So here's what you people were waiting for. You WILL need a fresh install for it to work, and Internet if full of such episodes. After burning the Midnight oil and many failed installs, I figured out that Seagate SSHD is not friendly to Clone or Image installs. I was of thought that i'd restore my System image and be Happy within 20 Minutes.
Mind you, seagate did not send the retail package with retail BOX and manual, But an OEM product in Antistatic Bag, Brown cardboard and some bubble wrap. I booked it immediately and the product was delivered within 3 days. After a few months, Snapdeal offered me to buy the 1TB SSHD model for just a shade over 8k. However the earlier models were just 500GB (Seagate Momentus XT) and price was hard to digest. I have spent better part of my Sundays reading reviews and browsing the forums about this revolutionary product. I had an eye on Seagate's new Hybrid Disks since long. Moving to Laptop's Non-RAID, slow Storage made me feel very claustrophobic. As a result, I was able to get SUBSTAINED File copy speeds of 250MB/s and Burst speeds of over 400MB/s. My desktop PC had some very nice Black edition Drives in RAID 0. Excitement aside, Moving to laptop also had a few let-downs, and the major one was HDD performance. All said and done, I had made my mind that this time, my primary computer will be a Laptop, and that did happen. One fine morning, I wake up to discover that my Primary Desktop computer was dead. I am pleased to bring you, The Honest, Most detailed and Practical review of Seagate 1TB LAPTOP SSHD.
