Seagate FireCuda SSHD Hybrid Drives
The Seagate FireCuda SSHD (Solid State Hybrid Drive) is a type of storage device that combines the speed of an SSD (Solid State Drive) with the storage capacity of an HDD (Hard Disk Drive). It is designed specifically for laptops and Ultrabook's.
The Seagate FireCuda SSHD has a small amount of flash memory, usually 8GB NAND Flash, which acts as a cache for frequently accessed data. The remaining storage space is provided by a traditional spinning hard disk drive. The drive's firmware intelligently manages the data, moving frequently accessed data to the flash memory for faster access times, while storing less frequently accessed data on the hard disk drive for maximum storage capacity.
The benefits of using Seagate FireCuda SSHDs include faster boot times, faster application load times, and faster overall system responsiveness compared to a traditional hard disk drive. It is also less expensive than a full SSD of equivalent capacity, making it an attractive option for those who need both speed and storage capacity.
The Seagate FireCuda SSHD is available in different capacities, ranging from 500GB to 2TB. It is also designed to be compatible with Windows and Mac OS X operating systems, and it can be easily installed in most laptops with a standard 2.5-inch drive bay.
Key Features
- Flash-accelerated technology delivers blazing load speeds that allow for nonstop performance, play and productivity up to 5× faster than standard HDDs.
- Enormous 500GB, 1TB and 2TB options make FireCuda the highest-capacity 2.5-inch hard drive on the market, providing customers a high-performance experience while being able to store massive amounts of data, all within a thin 7mm z-height.
- Green Hybrid feature reduces device power consumption, helping users extend their drive’s life and keep their costs down with a power-efficient drive.
- Multi-Tier Caching Technology (MTC) enhances performance by using NAND flash, DRAM and media caching technologies, enabling users to load applications and files even faster.
- Adaptive Memory technology identifies frequently accessed data, thereby providing the data faster, consuming less power and extending drive life.
