Firecuda 2.5 Vs 3.5
See also:.Then again, that’s because you can’t buy SSDs this small. I Installed the 32GB SSHD Version. The Gaming Drive, as my C Drive.Follow the instructions, loading your most used programs: (for me, my choices are:)Boot, OS, Browser, Steam, Favorite Game & iTunes(not playing, just starting), MS OFFICE Word, wait a minute, shutdown. REPEAT 5 TIMES.
After the 5th shutdown, you are ready to start for the first time. The OS Boot will be about as fast as SSD. Your top used programs will have been copied to and run from the 32GB SSD. Everything else fits nicely into the huge TB of storage. Other games, movies, music library, the other MS Office programs I don’t use often, tax software, etcThe conditioning of the SSD with the reboot steps really did speed things up.
As you use things over the weeks and months, the SSD cache adjusts accordingly, as a cache should, speeding up the stuff you actually use.I am very, very happy with seagate SSHDs! If you really want them to fly, combine a hybrid drive with PrimoCache software and more RAM. PrimoCache by Romex software is a two stage cache. One a 16GB RAM PC you could set up an 8GB RAM cache, and it will speed up everything you do. PrimoCache is a 2 stage cache, allowing you to combine a second SSD with your SSHD, expanding your cache to as big of an SSD as you want to buy. A low cost 120GB SSD is enough to really turbocharge all programs to run FASTER than SSD, run as fast as RAM, and that works very nicely.I hope Seagate make a 10TB + 64GB flash + 128MB RAM Hybrid Megadrive.Huge storage, fastest flash loading, and killer optimized read write caching, with power loss capacitor write protection with auto flush & head parking, with g-force fall protection.
If they can do that in different form factors, that combines all available technology. Create a version with a M.2 adapter & you would have the worlds first M.2 platter hard drive. The M.2 connector would mostly draw the OS & common files from the drives RAM & flash, while still offering Vault sized 10TB storage!.

Seagate Firecuda 2tb 3.5
With this latest iteration, they claim its algorithms are much better at recognizing and organizing on the flash memory. I have the very first generation of this (2TB 3.5in 7200rpm SSHD) in a build, and its noticeable when things are on the flash vs the HDD section when loading certain programs or doing certain tasks.I also have this FireCuda 2.5in as a 1TB, but its in an Xbox 360 so I can't give much info on the performance, other than FTP ran at least 25% faster than an old 500GB 5400m rpm 2.5in drive.
