Hybrid Hard drives

Want your laptop or desktop pc to have the speed of a SSD but still out of your price range?   I stumbled upon these a few months back but they have actually been on the market for a considerable amount of time.  Seagate makes a 500gb 2.5″ Hybrid Hard Drive that combines the speed of solid state with the affordability and size associated with a traditional hard drive.  They have 4GB of Solid State that is essentially used as a large cache for a traditional 7200 RPM hard drive.  The drive is also adaptive so it actually gets faster over time.  This means that the drive has software that distinguishes the files that are being accessed the most and caches them first so as you use your PC, it will get smoother and operate faster.   And since this is a 500gb drive, there is plenty of space for your operating system as well as storage space.  Seagate claims that these drives will improve boot time by up to 50% and are up to 1.5 times faster than a 7200 RPM drive.  I believe it since our test machine boots in 15-20 seconds!   They are fast, affordable and also have a 5yr warranty on them.  Since a 500GB SSD could run upwards of $1000, these are almost one tenth of the cost so they don’t break the bank either.  If you are interested in a considerable upgrade, contact Quick Connect!
