Abstract: W e're big fans of the Seagate Momentus XT concept, which offers some of the performance advantages of an SSD drive for only marginally more money than a purely physical mechanism. This is a new variation on that hybrid design (or SSHD: Solid State Hybrid...
The Seagate Laptop Thin SSHD is indeed faster than conventional hard disks in the PCMark real-life benchmarks, but doesn't reach the level of SSD performance. The SSD cache enables the disk to write very quickly, but reading will usually occur from the ...
The third generation Seagate SSHD comes at a price of Rs. 6000 (plus taxes) which amounts to around Rs.12.82 per GB. If seen from a pure hard drive perspective this is a high cost per GB. But considering the price points at which previous generation hybr...
