Start up / boot times appears to be faster than with stock drive. 1TB drive gives available space of 860Gb. **Q: Does this drive really read/write at around 6Gbps (Gigabits per second)?!?** A: The SATA 3Specification allows for up to 6Gbps, this is the theoretical burst throughput and is based on a number of things. The actual speed will depend heavily on if you are using in with a Laptop that SATA connection is for SATA3, Memory, Processor and BUS speed. Not to mention this is a 5400 RPM hard drive with 64MB of memory and 8 GB of Solid State Memory. Running Disk Speed Test on a 2011 2 Ghz i7 Quad using as a stress test of 5 GB got an average of 63 MB/s Write and 59 MB/s read with a 1GB file averaging better at 83 MB/s Write and 79 MB/s Read. Appears to be faster than the average 5400 RPM hard drive. It will speed up your computer as most of the often used data will be shuffled to the SSD portion. I got this drive for about $95 replacing the upgraded 500 GB Harddrive. Once installed it boots up in nearly half the time as previous and all applications are much quicker to launch with very little lag. It was well worth the price for double the capacity and double the speed vs 3-4 times the speed and 1/8th the capacity a comparably priced SSD drive would cost. **Q: apple compatible?** A: Of course it's compatible with Apple. Just need to format the drive during OS X installation. Apple uses SATA, the drive is SATA.It doesn't matter what brand or model the drive is as long as it's a 2 1/2 inch for a Mac Mini\MacBook\MacBook ProFor the iMac it's a 3 1/2 **Q: Will work for reads but how does it handle writes to protect dirty write down data if not mirrored for writes?** A: The SSD portion of the drive is not a cache. It is static. What is written to the SSD portion is retained even when the power is off. The 64MB cache works on this drive just as it works on traditional hard drives. I've owned one of these drives for nearly two years. It is worth every penny. Just as it says, over time, it becomes faster as it reorganizes the most used software (including the OS) to the SSD. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ REPLACED MY DODGY 250GB LAPTOP DISK , HUGE IMPROVEMENT IJN SPEED AND LOADS MORE SPACE *by S***R on 19 March 2016* WAS GETTING DISK ERRORS ON MY LAPTOPAND ORIGINAL DISK (250GB) WAS NEARLY FULL, BOUGHT THIS TO SWAP OVER THEN BOTTLED OUT FOR MONTHS.

Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extra memory for a good price. *by B***6 on 15 February 2016* I bought this drive to upgrade my PS4 existing 500Gb drive. Easy to fit as Sony has made the PS4 HDD a quick swap item. (Instructions on how to do this can be found on the net). Firstly I backed up all my PS4 files before replacing the drive. Once this 1TB drive was fitted I powered up my PS4 and it asks for a software update....this is where I had problems. There are '2' types of update files for the PS4, one is the basic update (that Sony release every so often) the other update file (which is harder to find on PSN website) is quite a big file (think its about 8Mb) is the update file you will need to breath life back into your PS4. As for the performance of this Seagate drive all I can say is that its working fine, I haven't noticed any speed increases but then again I never timed my PS4 at doing tasks anyway. ## Frequently Bought Together - (Old Model) Seagate 1TB Gaming SSHD SATA 8GB NAND SATA 6Gb/s 2.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive (ST1000LM014) - SABRENT SATA to USB Cable - USB 3.0 to 2.5” SATA I/II/III Hard Drive Adapter - External Converter for SSD/HDD Data Transfer (EC-SSHD) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/49649239-seagate-1tb-laptop-sshd-2-5-inch-internal-hybrid-hard](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/49649239-seagate-1tb-laptop-sshd-2-5-inch-internal-hybrid-hard) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
