The SSHD will be faster in some, but not all areas. The Seagate benefits greatly from having similar applications/files opening, due to the way it caches things to the SSD part of the drive. This means it will probably be slower on the first couple startups, but gets very fast on repeated boots. The same goes for launching games, opening applications, etc. You might want to take a look at the following links, then make a decision for yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpDA4yodALw - Video comparing the Velociraptor to the Seagate SSHD http://hdd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/WD-VelociRaptor-1TB-vs-Seagate-Desktop-SSHD-1TB/1389vs1784 - User benchmark and comparison http://techreport.com/review/25425/seagate-desktop-sshd-2tb-hybrid-drive-reviewed/4 - Tech Report comparison that uses a bit more rigorous and scientific testing methods.

Unfortunately, no. I returned my Seagate drive with out even taking it out of the anti-static wrapper. Seagate quality has been suspect as of late and I didnt want to chance my data being lost.

The label on the hdd says 3.0 gb/sec and 7200 rpm. I've read that the original ps3 hdd was 5400 rpm and a small speed increase can be expected in going to 7200 rpm.

The drive you have selected here might not fit what you are looking for; this is a portable usb HDD with no external power--everything is done through the USB cable. I can figure out the RPMs, but I am pretty sure it is much lower than 7200 since its USB powered. Take a look at the WB MyBook Studio: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004QGXOP2/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 -This should better fit what you are looking for in a drive. I have one of these, and it works great. The firewire is so much faster than USB 2.0--probably on par with 3.0, I don't have any 3.0 ports or devices. If you have Thunderbolt, they do make Thunderbolt variants, but they are far more expensive--thunderbolt is the fastest connection you can get, but HDD won't use the full speed bandwidth of Thunderbolt; firewire or USB 3.0 should do just fine for HDD. The only reason to get SSD is speed, and you better be prepared to spend a lot of money #1) SSD is more expensive than HDD: HDD is $1 per GB while SSD is about $2.5 per GB 2) the real catch is unless you get an external SSD with Thunderbolt connectivity there is no point in having SSD because the speed will be bottle-necked by the USB or Firewire connection--you won't get the full speed of the SSD. Thunderbolt will also drive up the price as well. If you let me know exactly what you are planning to use this drive for I could give you a better recommendation tailored to your uses, but I hope this helps you find something that will meet your needs.

Spins at 5400 RPM, that is whats keeping me from buying this drive. Good for laptop, but not desktop.120 GB SSD = $75.00, 1TB 7200 RPM HDD = $59.00, you do the math.

A 7200 rpm hard drive will run at said speed as a 5400 rpm hdd will run at 5400 rpm. The higher the rpm, the faster the drive.

Yes, but it will only go as fast as the drive is capable of moving. It might be more drive than your system needs.

I don't own one of those. but the one I do own has a faster Hard drive than 10k

I didn't purchase the 250. But the description says 7200 RPM, so that wouldn't be a solid state drive as they don't rotate.

Low speed is 600 RPMs, High speed is 12,000 RPs. I have a Maltese and only need to use the low speed on her.

I have a 16 GB SSD and a 5400 RPM. Watchout, the disk name is WD7500 but it stands for 750GB not 7500rpm; hopefully the previous commenter is right.

I would not buy this item. The drive is one of the slowest thunderbolts out there. The drives are not user serviceable. If a drive fails u need to send it in. I experienced cooling issues with this unit as well.

From what I have read in my searches it will work. I am running VelociRaptors in two different computers and see no problems.

It uses a 7200 RPM drive. Version 1 used a 5900 RPM drive. Both are SATA III with 64MB cache.

I Changed my Samsung 1 tb 5200 rpm for this SSD, and my machine become 5x faster or more, it is really fast and good upgrade

Mine had a 200 gb 5400 rpm but I replaced it with a 1 tb 7200 for a great performance upgrade! R Smith

It's not a SSHD or SSD. It's just a standard, 2TB HDD (but it works great)! I use it in my PS4. My friend who bought a hybrid 1TB HDD says he wishes he now got this one because mine loads up just a TAD bit slower than his and the gaming load times that he saves time on are barely felt with his SSHD. ;-)

No, it has a 5400 rpm drive. Really slows down otherwise great performance.
