SSHD Drives do speed up HDD.
I am very impressed with this SSHD. I assumed that the SSHD was more of a gimmick but it actually does speed up load times. I use this SSHD in conjunction with my SSD main drive. Mainly I put all my games on the SSHD and the OS on the SSD. I added a screen shot of UserBenchmark which it scored about 88%.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seagate is the best HDD makers out there! :D
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2016
Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase
Been running this SSHD for 2 Months now and its a good partner with my SSD. Haven't had any issues and it's pretty fast for a SSHD, I used it for a few weeks as my boot then switched boot to my SSD. The speeds aren't terribly different honestly at least with Windows 10. I'd say its 2-4X faster than your standard HDD and about 2-4X slower than your standard SSD. Sits right in the middle. Now for gaming, it loads slower but was surprising good for random reads (Arma, Witcher 3) both tested on this and my SSD. So again, this drive sits in the middle. I would recommend SSD for OS and a few your favorite games. Then use this for the rest of your games and storage needs. It's great. If your on a real budget or lack space, get this over the SSD and get as much TB's as you can afford. The more TB you have the better the drive performs, goes for all drives, SSD's too. So if you can only get one, a 4TB will cost close to what a 500gb SSD cost, so your better with the 4TB and your speeds will be pretty good! Anyways, all I know its a great quality drive, silent, hasn't had a single error and will most likely do me well for a long time. I have a Barracuda from 2011 in another computer and it's still running strong, Seagate is boss for HDDs.

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2018
Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase
I've used this solid state hybrid drive for about three months. It was easy to install, using existing SATA power and data cables. I loaded it with Linux Mint 18.3; it's reliable and very fast as my boot drive. It boots around 3 to 4 times faster than my old conventional SATA drive, a 500GB WD. It is installed on an older machine, a Dell Precision T5400 tower, dual-core Intel Xeon running at 3.333 GHz (max 3.8 GHz) with a 2008 Bios (yup, almost 10 years old) and 12GB of 667MHz memory. It's nice to have the speed this drive brings to my dinosaur -- now a velociraptor. The 1TB size is likely more than I'll need (With 2 users, documents, pictures, a typical set of productivity programs, it's less than 13% full; and I have other large drives). So far, I think the price is well worth the value in speed and Seagate reliability. Satisfied customer.

This has been a good drive for me. It's quieter than a standard platter drive. I'd recommend it for any use. It definitely speeds up your machine. Not as fast as an SSD, but somewhere in between. Since I bought my drive (a 1TB), I noticed these drives now seem to be available only in a 2TB size. I expect they'll most likely perform the same. Can't say if reliability overall is better than a SSD. Time will tell.

4.0 out of 5 stars First drive DOA, Replacement works as advertised. Good upgrade if you don't want to pay for an SSD
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2016
Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase
UPDATED from 1 star:
TL/DR:
Pros:
Significant speed increase from old HDD
Good price point
Reduced Game stuttering
Slightly faster boot times
No issues cloning old drive to this drive

Cons:
First drive DOA
Doesn't compare to a real SSD for speeds

First drive was DOA so I rated it 1 star until I got my replacement. The Drive works fine. The replacement was recognized instantly. I used Macrium Reflect to clone my old HDD. Let the thing spin and build cache overnight. My old HDD had gotten really slow (it was a 6 year old WD Black, served me well but needed to go). This was a night and day difference from that old drive. Not a bad upgrade for the price while I wait for M.2 SSDs to come down in price. You aren't going to get the same performance out of this drive than you will a real SSD and that's just a fact of the difference in technology. As far as I understand SSHDs have a typical spinning drive along with a small flash memory section. This flash memory section allows faster read/write speeds by acting as intermediary storage (more used information will be stored on flash making it quick to access). But of course it has its limits as the bulk of the information is stored on the spinning drive like a normal HDD. What I am trying to say is that this will definitely have an improvement over normal HDDs but will not compare to an SSD (as the price reflects). I did experience a faster boot time with this drive, though not near what an SSD would give. My old HDD took a pretty long time to get going when I booted up. The FireCuda still takes time, but definitely less. The biggest improvement was definitely while playing games (which does match how the drive is advertised). I like to keep various computer stats on my second screen while gaming to be able to check how everything is performing. Larger games would definitely bog down my old drive. The response time would spike into the 100s of milliseconds at some points. Forza Horizon 3 is my best example (which is a really big game). Stuttering was unbearable at some points (and it was not my graphics card or my processor). After getting this drive that all went away. This drive's response time would only spike to about 20 or 30ms and only under highest load. The r/w speeds were also much higher. All in all a good buy once I got over my saltiness of the DOA drive. Still need to dock a star for that as it is definitely part of the experience/value of the drive.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great deal
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2017
Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase
I'm very happy with this drive. The project for which I bought it was a fresh install of Windows 10 in a foreign language that I wanted to immerse myself in to improve my vocabulary. I first wanted to install on a used formatted drive I had on hand, and The OS simply would not make new partitions on it even though the drive was fine used to store data. Anyway, I then got this drive because I wanted fast bootup like an SSD with less costly capacity that mechanical drives offer. This drive is quiet and indeed fast. My project is a success. The only odd thing that happened was that the spare drive remained connected during this install, and Windows made it the D drive. I just let it be so. All is working very nicely, and I recommend these drives because they are inexpensive for what you get. I had had no prior experience with hybrid drives and this was also a flight of curiosity. Curiosity happily satisfied.

Con el uso y el pasar del tiempo, los HHD van perdiendo velocidad. Esa es la razón por la que las PC’s van degradando sus capacidades y por consiguiente frustración en el arranque, incio de programas, copia de archivos y rendimiento en general.
Actualice con este SSDH FIRECUDA dos PC’s del 2011 con intel i5, 8GB en RAM, una con tamaño 3.5 y otra con 2.5. A las dos les instalé Windows 10 pro. Éste se instaló es unos 12 minutos, guau!

These are actually a noticeable speed difference from the standard drives.
After opening up a program a couple of times, it will load much faster. Same with the operating system.
Very helpful if you use the same programs daily.
Not quite SSD speeds but still a lot quicker with a decent storage size.

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase
Wanted to store lot of photos so decided to buy 1TB instead of 250 GB SSD. They say that it's performance is between SSD and regular HDD. Let see that in real. I'll give you the review after a week and after installing Witcher. Price has jumped to whopping 2k more. It was 4999.
Purchased on Jun 2017.

Update:- Dec 2018. I think it was always slower. Games lags when map is loads, transfer speed is pretty average. I thought it was my CPU bottleneck, I was wrong. Now I can hear a clicking noise during the initial time. Sounds like it's already aging. Anytime it may crash.

Update Feb 22:- Waiting...waiting and waiting for this to become little faster in transfer rate, load games faster or load map area without causing stuttering in CS:GO faster but still no go and now it started giving signs of dying with clicking noise already. Warranty? There is nowhere written about the warranty so this is absolutely waste of money gimmicking about SSHD craps which only works for small apps but not other things. My older normal hard disc performed better and still alive with no sound. PLEASE EITHER BUY NORMAL HARD DISK OR AN SSHD.
