  • Summary: • Not quite as fast as a pure SSD (depending on your workflow--YMMV).
  • Pros: • Good balance of price/performance/capacity compared to pure SSD.
  • Cons: • As with most drives I have purchased from Seagate in the last couple of years, the quality control leaves something to be desired.

"My first reactions were favorable."

wally_the_gadget_guru, CNET
17 September 2012
  • Pros: boots faster and gave me so much more hard drive space
  • Cons: within 2 months, it was starting to slow down in booting and backups were taking longer to accomplish even though the total amount of data had not increased; before I ...
