Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Break through your thin laptop's performance barriers
Now, with a Seagate Laptop Thin Solid State Hybrid Drive (SSHD), you can experience the performance of a solid state drive in your thin and light laptop for a fraction of the cost. SSHD fuses solid state storage with a traditional hard drive to deliver the best of both worlds: Blazing-fast performance and high capacities at prices that work.

Solid state speed on a hard drive budget
Seagate Laptop Thin SSHD leverages several gigabytes of NAND flash storage to deliver the performance benefits of solid state drives. Our SSHDs are 4? faster than standard 7200 RPM hard drives*; they improve system-level performance by an average of 20%; and you'll get far faster boot ups.
Capacity without compromise-even in compact laptops
Solid state drives are typically only affordable in very low capacities, but there's no need to compromise with a Laptop Thin SSHD. This drive features a 7mm height designed for compact computers, and you can choose from 500GB and 750GB capacities at prices that make sense.

Installs with ease
Seagate Laptop Thin SSHD installs and communicates with your thin laptop exactly like a standard hard drive. It's fully compatible with standard SATA technology, and there's no need to worry about what OS you're using: Laptop Thin SSHD is OS-, driver- and software- independent.

Windows 8 boot ups in less than ten seconds
Seagate Laptop Thin SSHD delivers the 'instant-on' experience you crave, cutting boot times by 40-60% compared to standard hard drives. Plus, with Windows 8 support, you'll experience a new standard in responsiveness: Startup-to-ready in less than 10 seconds.

Performance that adapts to you
Seagate Adaptive Memory technology is the secret to Laptop Thin SSHD's stunning responsiveness. Adaptive Memory learns what data you use most then copies it to the drive's solid state memory where it can be accessed in an instant.

Rock-solid reliability
By blending solid state storage with a traditional hard drive, Laptop Thin SSHD reduces the wear issues associated with both technologies. Mechanical wear and tear to the hard drive is reduced since frequently-used data gets stored in the solid state memory. This also reduces wear on the solid state memory by minimizing the frequency of data erasures and rewrites. Your Seagate Laptop Thin SSHD will help protect your precious data even as it delivers mind-blowing performance.
