2.5" FLASH-ACCELERATED
HARD DRIVE DATA SHEET
 
"The Fastest PC Hard Drive Combining flash technology with a hard drive platform, the FireCuda® 2.5 flash-accelerated hard drive represents the fastest 2.5-inch hard drive available."



Key Advantages 
  • 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 (this one is 2TB) 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. The cutting edge never felt so safe—5-year limited warranty is best-in-class for hard drive warranties.

We Want You Happy so please contact us about any issue that you feel is seller responsibility.  We're not Amz0n, just a small business clearing out various stock, and thus we don't offer returns.  We do notify when manufacturer has remaining warranty and pass along that information as in this case.  And we're human so if there is a severe issue such as a completely wrong product, please reach out to us so we can review our photos and video of the product being packaged and sent, and work with you to identify the discrepancy and resolve the issue in a way that's fair to all concerned.  (This should be rare, since we're small and we photo/video what we ship out, including every serial number for every item sent in each order.)

  • For Non-Receipt we offer FULL REFUND - be sure to contact us when eBay's "I didn't receive it" option shows the final possible arrival date has already passed, and tracking shows stall, loss, or nothing at all.  (Tracking showing completion is considered receipt.  Note that if tracking shows product is delayed briefly enroute, we apologize, but this would be beyond our control and in that case you will still receive your item.)

  • For Shipping Damage (very rare) we offer FULL REFUND - you must CONTACT US within 48 HOURS of receipt of visibly, physically-damaged item.  Use eBay messaging to seller, and you must include detailed, in-focus photos of the outside and inside of the damaged shipping package, and the physical damage to the product - we cannot make our claim without it.  Upon receipt we will handle the shipping loss claim and you will be fully refunded promptly.
