Old stock?
Same with intel Optane, what the hell is that about when we have SSDs?
Well a 2TB SSD would be multiple times more $$ so there is the cost factor, and SSHD's are faster than mechanical only drives too, so that's 2 reasons
SSHD's are faster than mechanical only drives too,
Not really in term of read/write speed
Love the negs we're getting for stating facts. Someone must be trying to validate their purchase XD

"SSHD works by using a small amount of high-performance NAND flash memory. It stores the most frequently used data with the help of this flash memory. With SSHD, files can be accessed quickly as it has SSD portion of the drive which is 8 GB in size."
A lot of stuff especially for gaming nothing under 8GB.
@superforever: I don't think you understand how a cache works, because on a console like the XBOX or PS4 you can only load a maximum of 8GB to memory (RAM) an 8GB cache can be very useful
Now data storage performance can only be rated as far as latency, read and write, so yes, an SSHD theoretically can be many times faster than a mechanical SSD, read, write and latency, I say theoretically because you can use RAM as a secondary storage cache, and if the data isn't commonly used it won't be in the cache, thus you get mechanical drive speeds, I'm sure there are other factors but you can just get on Google and do your own research
especially loading games
What? It has been demonstrated time and again that loading games and booting OS are the two areas where SSHDs excel over HDDs. SSHDs have practically no advantage over HDDs in other usage scenarios. For example, see section Ultimate PS4 And Xbox One Storage Upgrade? in this review for timed measurements.
I'm looking for those ones since to storage everything in a ssd is pretty expensive and it give you a fast read and write compared to the normal one.
i'd agree with above.
bought a SSHD. it's ok but i wouldnt waste money on it again.
better off shucking a bigger disk at this priceI've been eying an SSHD for the PS4 for a while now because I was under the impression that 2.5" HDDs are either slower for ~the same price (in the case of 2TB) or generate way more heat / high failure rate / more expensive /GB (for larger) / don't have SATA connectors (for shucked). How wrong am I?
dude. it's even hard to follow what youre saying.
SSHD is a HDD with some measly amount of flash storage, mine has 8GB.
it's quite pathetic.
dont know why they couldnt do like Mac Fusion drive and put 128GB.
Pretty sure I paid less at msy. Great drive for ps4
Isn't this $119 at MSY?
is it SSHD . any link?
much cheaper before border tax introduced like most computer goods in oz these days.
I got a 2TB Seagate Firecuda for $82.90 delivered by NewEgg in November. That included GST and delivery. It was posted on here as a deal too.
Thought it was a toilet seat deal till I read it
I picked this up yesterday for my laptop, for the 2.5" form factor and capacity of 2TB, this is the best one you can get right now in the sale, there's one 4TB but for $300.
SSD's are hot on heels of the HDD / Hybrid drives now. 1TB no-names are almost at the $100/1TB point. I'd generally prefer a no-name SSD over a brand name HDD. These hybrids have their place but my view of mechanical storage is like HDD/Tape Drive scenario. Low capacity HDDs are almost redundant now thanks to SSD. They are growing faster and prices dropping quicker than any mechanical drive. Soon there will be no reason to touch any HDD under 4TB.
Fast forward a few years and we're probably going to reach capacity parity, HDDs will be the cheaper option but have no capacity edge, fast forward a few more years again when SSDs are competing for price and what happens to HDDs? Some people say that will never happen. I'm not so sure. Advancement in HDD's are so slow now.
My opinion only.
Why the hell are hybrid drives still a thing? They've been proven time and time again to be absolute crap.
