SSDs with better performance available for the similar price
Not as fast as other high-end drives (which are more expensive
Abstract: While manufacturers have announced larger capacity SSDs (2TB and more), for storing a lot of files, a mechanical HDD is still a much more affordable option. This looks set to change in the future though, as SSD production volume increases lead to lower pr...
Very good sequential performance, Light, yet sturdy construction, Power efficient
Could perhaps be a little lighter
There's no doubt that a solid state drive can make your laptop or desktop PC run faster and boot up quicker. Seagate's SSD 600 is among the fastest of the recent solid state drives we've seen, and it's also power efficient, light, and rugged. Definitely a...
Good speeds, Decent price (although Crucial drive is cheaper)
Bad timing with Crucial's latest drives undercutting these
Buying Guide Best SSD: 10 of the top SSDs on test It's good to finally see another major player in the storage sector enter the bear pit that is the consumer SSD market - and Seagate's 600 series looks pretty damn good from the off. The only problem is C...
The 600 SSD 240GB is a solid first release for Seagate, but I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed with the performance in this capacity size. I hate to say it, but I'm going to go ahead and toss this out there. Congratulations Seagate, you managed t...
As we mentioned in the introduction, we plan to write more RAID reports again now that the some of the other product categories have shifted to new TweakTown writers. Personally, I miss having the time to develop new tests and work on special project...
In the image above, we see the AIDA64 write latency test. The spikes are common with drives that rely on DRAM. Some drives give us more to worry about than others, the Samsung 840 120GB and 840 Pro 128GB are two popular product examples that we never...
The Seagate 600 SSD offers fast performance and is available in the new ultrathin 5mm thickness
The new SSD requires the same power as a regular laptop hard drive, its current estimated cost is comparatively high, and there's no 3.5-inch drive-bay caddy included
The Seagate 600 is an impressive first SSD outing from Seagate that offers basically all you want in a solid-state drive....
Samsung's 850 Pro SSDs are without a doubt the fastest SSDs of this moment. Given that this product does not seem to have any flaws, we heartily recommend it to those who are looking for the fastest possible SSD. The Vector 150 and AMD Radeon R7 SSDs ar...

The Seagate 600 SSD is a good value, but high-performance solid?state drive. Now over one year old, it's available at very competitive prices, which work out at a very reasonable 42p per gigabyte for the larger-capacity 480GB capacity model.Tags:StorageBe...
