Seagate STBD1000400 SSHD

Great drive, economical, works as expected. As expected it fits my Asus Rog G750, I'm pretty sure it will fit any laptop. For a second I thought there are 2 different partitions on this drive, as the title says, 8GB SSD and the rest is HDD, so I can install Windows on the 8GB SSD and use the rest for media and stuff. NO! It's a single partition disk! Pros: It's faster than traditional 7200 RPM discs. A lightweight. Cons: It's not as fast as a REAL SSD. (I bought this drive as a transition drive so after a few months of use I switched to a new Sandisk SSD and the boot speed and system stability make a HUGE difference.) Overall this is a great drive if you don't have enough money for it an SSD for 1 TB. If you want true SSD speed, choose a REAL SSD. Either way, it's 10x faster than the awful 1TB 5200 drive my Asus Rog came with.
