Abstract: The latest piece of hardware up for testing at Phoronix is the Seagate ST1000DX001, a 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive (SSHD) that retails for less than $100 USD. But how well does this 1TB hard drive that has 8GB of MLC flash memory work with Linux? Let's fi...

If you had to have one hard drive in your desktop PC, and if you were an average PC user, I would be hard pressed not to recommend it be the Seagate Desktop SSHD. The 4TB model especially, which you can find for around the $240 mark, has a huge amount of...
It's clear the Seagate SSHD system works, and works well, and even when compared to a pure SSD-based system, the results aren't too shabby. The drives add a reasonably low premium over the price of a fast mechanical drive, so you can expect plenty of ...
With the increasing market penetration of the SSD, a lot of users have now had the chance to upgrade their PCs. Now we all know while SSDs offer massive benefits in terms of performance, they have always lacked in one area - capacity. ...
Abstract: Now that the prices of SSDs have dropped to well below 50 cents per GB, we expect that only few Hardware.Info readers will still want to use a conventional hard drive as their primary storage device. We still can't quite live without them, however, beca...
