About this product
The Seagate ST2000DX002 FireCuda is a 2TB Solid State Hybrid Drive (SSHD) designed for desktop use. This 3.5-inch drive combines HDD and SSD technology, featuring a 7200 RPM rotation speed and a 64MB cache, all connected via a SATA III interface. As a hybrid drive, it aims to offer a performance boost over traditional HDDs by using a small amount of NAND flash memory (not specified in capacity) to cache frequently accessed data, providing quicker access times for popular applications and files.
Our take
The Seagate FireCuda 2TB SSHD is an intriguing option if you want a performance uplift over a traditional hard drive without jumping to the higher cost of a pure SSD. Its hybrid design, combining HDD with flash memory, means that frequently accessed files should load quicker, which is a definite plus for system responsiveness. The 7200 RPM speed and 64MB cache are standard for this class of drive, and the SATA III interface is universal. While the exact SSD cache size isn't specified, the concept is sound for desktop users. It's a good middle ground if you're not ready for full SSD pricing.
