The Seagate ST1000LX001 Laptop SSHD features a standard 2.5″ HDD appearance with an aluminum plate at the top, protecting the platters and the head inside. This is the latest notebook oriented SSHD that Seagate has to offer so far, sitting in at 115 USD at the time of this writing, with a 5 year warranty. With 32GB of available NAND space – which is 4x better in capacity than the older SSHDs that Seagate used to offer, games and other related apps should load faster without overwriting each other’s data as long as they are within the capacity limits. This hybrid features Seagate’s Adaptive Memory Technology which in layman’s term – tracks the user’s data usage and prioritizes those data to be accessed on the NAND.
Now all this talk brings us up to Seagate’s latest SSHD – the 1TB ST1000LX001 Hybrid Drive with 32GB of NAND Flash cache inside. Remember back then, the SSD cache of the hybrid drives sits at around 256 MB to 8 GB of capacity, which is really not all that compelling together with the current pace of the NAND’s technology for that period.
It’s a hard time for those drives, and there are actually a variety of reasons behind such slow adoption, and one main ingredient back then is the lack of a good NAND flash to support the feature, plus the price of NAND flash themselves for the time period. Solid State Hybrid Drives or SSHDs for short, never really took off smoothly when they were first announced and received by the general public years ago.
