I was looking around for a new hard drive the other day and noticed that Seagate had a SSHD hard drive
 
 http://www.seagate.com/internal-hard-drives/desktop-hard-drives/desktop-solid-state-hybrid-drive/
 
Has anyone bought one of these. I have read posts where they are really good and posts that say they are really bad. Just wondering as I am thinking of getting one but not if it's no good.

    I hear they are 50/50. I would recommend wd if you want a sshd.

    In my personal opinion you're better off with an SSD as your system drive or for faster bootup speeds two SSDs in raid and use a mechanical hard drive for your games, files, videos, and programs.

    The reason I am asking is I want a 2gb hdd and a ssd but can't afford both right now. So I thought I would ask. Should I buy a normaal hdd or get this for now till I can afford both.

    I have a Seagate MomentusXT 500 GB hybrid drive and I saw very limited, if any, performance benefit over a plain HDD.

    I didn't notice any faster boot times or benchmarks compared to my Western Digital Caviar Blue 500 GB HDD. Occasionally the Samsung 840 EVO 500 GB goes on sale for $249.99 which is roughly $100 more than the MomentusXT. Save your money for the 840 EVO and you will definitely see a performance boost.

    I went with a 1 tb samsung evo on black friday deal. Random read writes are around 1300 mb/sec and everything flies. I would never recommend a SSD smaller than 1 tb, because what is the point? This way you can install a lot of games and whatever else and not constantly worry about deleting.

    Asus Strix Z790 F - Intel 13700 K - Gigabyte 4090 Windforce - 32gb DDR 5 - 1TB Samsung SSD 850 evo - Windows 10 Pro - 1TB Samsung M.2 860 - Inland 2 TB NVMe - Acer Predator X27

    Actually that is just a software trick Samsung uses, cache to get those numbers, they are not real world, but they sure do look nice.
