14 DAY TRIAL // Seagate may be one of the two greatest makers of hard drives in the world, but it knows when the time of its primary products has passed.
As it happens, the time of HDDs has not yet passed, but the magnetic storage devices have been experiencing a rather unfortunate decline in shipments, though sadly not in prices.
In any case, Seagate is experimenting with alternatives, and one alternative is hybrid HDDs, or solid state hybrid drives as the company has chosen to call them.
A new collection of SSHDs has debuted. There are the “normal” Seagate Laptop SSHD, the 7 mm-thin Seagate Laptop Thin SSHD, and the all-new Seagate Desktop SSHD.
The 7mm one is on the left in the photo above.
The use of integrated NAND Flash storage chips helps with performance. Systems should run 30% faster, or even 40%. More information on this page.
