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.

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!
Antes de actualizar éstas computadoras tardaban en arrancar completamente unos 3 minutos. Ahora se inician en tan solo 9 segundos.
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.
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.
