Seagate Laptop Thin Solid State Hybrid Drive SSHD
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.

Seagate Laptop Thin Solid State Hybrid Drive SSHD
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.

Seagate Laptop Thin Solid State Hybrid Drive SSHD
Windows 8 bootups 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.

Seagate Laptop Thin Solid State Hybrid Drive SSHD
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.

Seagate Laptop Thin Solid State Hybrid Drive SSHD
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.
