Seagate firecuda sshd, its 1tb model drops to 49.99 usd

The Seagate 1 TB FireCuda SSHD is a perfect hard drive for storing games, combining the power of hard drives and part of the speed of SSDs.

Seagate FireCuda SSHD has models up to 2TB

The FireCuda SSHD drive offers ultra-fast sequential read / write speeds, which means this drive offers faster reload and reappearance with an overall reduction in typical jerks in data loading. By using hybrid technology, the hard drive benefits from built-in NAND memory that is typically used in SSDs. This works as a cache or temporary memory that keeps in memory the most recent files that have been read on the hard disk. This accelerates, for example, the startup times of the computer and also accelerates those applications that make intensive use of reading, such as games.

It is not as fast as a SATA SSD, but it does improve the speeds of conventional hard drives.

Currently the 500GB model costs just $ 48.21, the 1TB model of this unit is currently for sale on Amazon. The 1TB model cost around $ 62.99, but is now only $ 49.99, which is 21% off the typical price.

At the time of writing these lines, the 1 TB model in Spain with 128 MB of cache is costing just over 60 euros and the 2 TB model about 100 euros. These discounts may begin to arrive in Spain sooner rather than later.

The offerings of the 1TB and 2TB models make these drives a perfect purchase if you are looking to upgrade your laptop or desktop computer.

According to the Firecuda SSHD benchmarks, the load times in play do benefit from this hybrid technology, although not to the level that it would with an SSD. After all, the advantage here is the capacity and its price compared to an SSD, since today a 1TB SSD drive can cost around 100 euros.
