Product Description

Get the Seagate Solid State Hybrid Drive and supercharge your laptop. SSHD combines the blazing performance of a solid state drive and the huge capacity of a hard disk, all with a budget-friendly price-tag. The Seagate SSHD is compatible with virtually any laptop computer, any OS, and any application, so you get plug-and-play, revved-up performance from any system.

From the Manufacturer

Break through your thin laptop's performance barriers

Now, with a Seagate Laptop Thin Solid State Hybrid Drive (SSHD), you can experience the performance of a solid state drive in your thin and light laptop 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.


Seagate Laptop Thin Solid State Hybrid Drive SSHD
Solid state speed on a hard drive budget

Seagate Laptop Thin SSHD leverages several gigabytes of NAND flash storage to deliver the performance benefits of solid state drives. Our SSHDs are 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

Seagate Laptop Thin Solid State Hybrid Drive SSHD
Capacity without compromise-even in compact laptops

Solid state drives are typically only affordable in very low capacities, but there's no need to compromise with a Laptop Thin SSHD. This drive features a 7mm height designed for compact computers, and you can choose from 500GB and 750GB capacities at prices that make sense.

Seagate Laptop Thin Solid State Hybrid Drive SSHD
Installs with ease

Seagate Laptop Thin SSHD installs and communicates with your thin laptop exactly like a standard hard drive. It's fully compatible with standard SATA technology, and there's no need to worry about what OS you're using: Laptop Thin SSHD is OS-, driver- and software- independent.

Seagate Laptop Thin Solid State Hybrid Drive SSHD
Windows 8 bootups in less than ten seconds

Seagate Laptop Thin 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 10 seconds.

Seagate Laptop Thin Solid State Hybrid Drive SSHD
Performance that adapts to you

Seagate Adaptive Memory technology is the secret to Laptop Thin SSHD's stunning responsiveness. Adaptive Memory learns what data you use most then copies it to the drive's solid state memory where it can be accessed in an instant.

Seagate Laptop Thin Solid State Hybrid Drive SSHD
Rock-solid reliability

By blending solid state storage with a traditional hard drive, Laptop Thin 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. Your Seagate Laptop Thin SSHD will help protect your precious data even as it delivers mind-blowing performance.

Seagate Clarifies OEM status (UPDATED Oct 17, 2014)
By Stephanie Sullivan TOP 50 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on May 25, 2013
Size: 1 TB
Note that the product listing now indicates this is an OEM drive. This was NOT the case when I wrote this review. I did not think I'd purchased an OEM drive at that time.

The most important parts are the updates at the end explaining the current 5 star rating. My eventual outcome became positive although it took several months. This highlights how much warranty matters because things sometimes will go wrong..

My negative warranty experience was shared by others which can be seen in the many comments.

After the warranty issues were finally resolved the replacement drive has performed well. Now this hybrid drive has been retired when the computer was converted to another use and a SSD was installed. This is discussed in my final update on this review.

I hope the review, updates and comments are helpful to potential Seagate purchasers.

For the whole story, read on...

************* Original Review ***************

I am writing this review because I see this listing does not provide either warranty or retail/OEM status. Why does this matter? Read on...

I bought a previous model (Seagate Momentus XT 750 GB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 32 MB Cache 2.5 Inch Solid State Hybrid Drive ST750LX003). I found out rather rudely that Seagate does not honor the warranty on OEM drives. The drive was only 4 months old. The Amazon listing for that drive did not say it was an OEM drive. That listing mentioned the Seagate 3 year warranty.

In the 4 months it worked the drive made booting and certain common tasks very quick. If it was on the SSD part of the drive it was quick like a SSD.Read more ›

Works Great in 13" Macbook Pro
By D Wood on March 17, 2013
Size: 1 TB Verified Purchase
I am extremely pleased with this drive and would highly recommend it as an upgrade on a Macbook Pro. It is much faster than the stock 500 GB drive that came in late 2012 MacBook Pro. Now I have a fast 1 TB machine. All 999.8 GB are available as one drive.

I used the step by step instructions that I found at [...] to change out the hardware in less that 15 minutes.

After a discussion concerning the software restore with the apple guru at my local apple store, I used his advice by starting the macbook pro with the new drive by holding down the option key. (Rather than using an OS X Recovery Disk - the apple guru said apple no long supports that product, even though i found it on apple's support website???) I then had to log onto my wifi network. It took about 10 minutes to download the next menu to my computer over the internet. At that point I had to 1st delete the files on the new hard drive and at the time, select the "extended journal" option. This took 5 or so minutes. Then I used Time Machine to restore about 450 GB from a USB 3.0 connected external hard drive. That took about 5 hours.

I've been running the new drive for 2 days now with no problems. The only thing that did't restore was the product key in my Mac version of Microsoft Office. I reinstalled the key and all works fine. I run Windows 7 through Parallels. Windows and all of my Windows programs run fine. I did not have to reinstall product key numbers in my Windows versions of Lightroom and Photoshop.

Good performance upgrade for 5400-RPM and PlayStation hard drives, almost as fast as 7200-RPM, but still slower than SSD drives.
By ƒůℤźϔ ωൠ≥ζŷ ♥☮♭♩♪♫♬♮☯☺♡✈ TOP 1000 REVIEWER on July 30, 2013
Size: 1 TB
இ Fuzzy Wuzzy's Summary:
ѾѾѾѾ Recommended with warm fuzzies.

փ Positives:

փ This 5400-RPM drive that utilizes 8-GB SSD smart-caching is a great upgrade to replace an existing 5400-RPM or PlayStation drive, as long as you frequently access applications and data files repeatedly.
փ This 5400-RPM drive can perform almost as fast as many 7200-RPM drives, but it still cannot match SSD drive speeds.
փ This drive runs very quietly and can just barely be heard most of the time.
փ The 1-TB drive has a standard 9.5mm size suitable for most laptops, while the 500-GB version of this drive is 7.0mm size and may be a better fit for ultrabooks and thin laptops.
փ This drive has a 3-year limited warranty.

ჯ Negatives:

ჯ Unlike some previous Seagate Momentus XT drives that combine flash memory caching with a 7200-RPM drive, this drive spins at 5400-RPM.
ჯ In order to provide a robust speed boost that improves all usage scenarios, the SSD caching really needs to be increased to at least 24-GB or 32-GB in size, especially if you frequently work with graphics/photo/video/multimedia files.
ჯ Even though it uses a 5400-RPM hard drive, this Seagate SSHD consumes almost as much energy as some regular 7200-RPM hard drives, or about 40% to 80% more energy than some of the better energy-efficient 5400-RPM mobile hard drives on the market.
ჯ While this drive does noticeably improve the boot time during a cold boot, the speed-up when waking up from hibernation mode is only slightly quicker.
ჯ Both with performance and price, this drive may not be better than buying a 1-TB 7200-RPM drive.Read more ›
