LeBron is dramatically faster than a standard hard drive with platters. I removed my old drive, image did onto this drive, and had the thing running inside of an hour. Strike has a considerable solid-state cash, with a standard platter Drive behind it. You can find write-ups of how this technology works on the web. I'll confirm that it is visibly faster than a standard hard drive. What I mean by that, is that I can see applications run faster on the desktop - bearings less delay between clicking on and icon and having the computer respond. Also, the operating system boots faster. I didn't time it, so I don't have details. But, it's surprising how fast it comes up after boot, considering that I'm used to a standard hard drive. I have an SSD on a different computer. I can tell that the SSD is faster than this hibred drive is. It also cost four times as much as this hybrid Drive. I'm glad that I purchased this drive. I couldn't afford an SSD, and this one performs really well.Read full review

This new Seagate 1 TB FireCuda Hybrid SSHD was easy to physically install in the computer at my second hard drive location. First of course I removed my second hard drive prior to installing the Fire Cuda SSHD. At this point I made a total reproduction copy of the "C" hard drive using the Seagate software found on their site for this purpose, Then I removed the original hard drive and installed the newly loaded FireCuda in the "C" drive position, plus installed the second hard drive back into its original position. Turned on the computer and it worked correctly right from turn on. Started up various programs that I often use in order to teach the new hard drive what information to store in the SS portion of the drive. After a few days of using the computer it continued to increase its speed. This SSHD Hybrid drive is a great improvement over the standard 7200 rpm hard drives, especially when using it for the primary "C" drive. This is the second Seagate Hybrid SSDD that I have recently installed, and both installation went along smoothly. Also I find these Seagate 1 & 2 TB Hybrid SSHD's to be very quiet in operation. Don't be afraid to upgrade your existing computer with one of these Hybrid SSHD's, because they are easy to physically install and the Seagate installation software works very well. The question that was asked of me is if this is a reliable product, well it has been for the first two weeks and only time will tell.Read full review

. Installed this hard drive and I was surprised how quiet it was and and fast it worked for a Hybrid. I was very pleased wit it and would recommend this to anyone who cannot afford a full Solid State Drive as I. It worked very well transferring files. I would defiantly buy another if needed.

My 240 gb SSD filled up and I was stuck! Found this as a great deal on eBay and went for it. I've installed it and had it running for a solid week now, with no issues. It's like I was never down. This is on my iMac.
