Seagate Laptop SSHD and Laptop Thin SSHD set a new standard for performance, price and capacity. Powerd by Adaptive Memory™ Technology, SSHDs deliver SSD-like performance combined with massive hard drive capacities all for a price you can easily afford. Turbo-charge your new or aging laptop computer with SSHD technology from Seagate. Seagate™s new line up of Hybrid Hard Drives now includes a thinner 7mm product for the newest generation of ultra thin and light Laptop computers. Still powered by Adaptive Memory Technology and using 8GB of on-board, integrated NAND Flash, Seagate Solid State Hybrid Drives provide SSD-like performance, with hard drive capacities. Storage That Makes Sense Boots up and performs like a solid state drive (SSD) The capacity of a hard disk drive
(HDD) A price that makes sense All-in-one design for simplicity and ease of installation No special software or drivers required Backed by a 3-year limited manufacturer warranty With SSHD Technology, You Get There Faster Why should a high-performance PC be slower than your tablet or smart phone? It shouldn't. Seagate SSHDs give you the instant-on response of solid state memory and the extremely large capacity of a hard drive. You get both the kick and the capacity that lets you consume, create and store at amazing speeds. Changing the Game for Laptops and PCs In the past, the term instant-on could not be applied to a standard laptop or PC. That kind of speed was available only in systems few could afford or in tablet devices made for online browsing, not content creation. By contrast,
an SSHD from Seagate is an affordable alternative that delivers the speed of solid state memory with the storage benefits of an HDD. It has more data integrity and retention techniques than SSDs or other combination solutions. Using Adaptive Memory™ technology, which effectively identifies then stores the most frequently used data into the solid state memory, you get solid state performance, expansive capacity and exceptional reliability in one device. SSHD Technology and Features Boot SSHDs are already renowned for incredibly fast boot-up times. Now with third-generation SSHD technology from Seagate, they are even better. Depending on hardware and setup, your Windows 8 system can boot in less than 10 seconds, and for Windows 7 you can still see boot times as fast as 12
seconds. Seagate fast boot technology is now combined with integrated functionality in Windows 8 to help you say goodbye to sluggish boot times. Flash Management and Next-Generation Reliability By combining solid state and traditional hard drive technologies in innovative ways, Seagate has enhanced reliability. Solid state memorys drawback has been limited write cycles, but by having the bulk of the writes handled by time-tested and reliable HDD technology, Seagate has increased product reliability and created a more durable storage device. An SSHD for Every PC From ultra-thin laptops to the tricked-out gaming system, Seagate now offers an SSHD to fit your needs. Seagate Laptop Thin SSHDs are available in a 7mm thick configuration to support thin, light, laptop designs. Seagate
Desktop SSHDs are now available in capacities up to 2TB, providing unmatched combinations of high capacity and blazing-fast performance. Whatever your need, you can count on Seagate SSHD products to deliver solid state speed, hard drive capacity and a price you can afford.
