    Do you even know how SSHD works….. Only programs that are being used constantly on the drive will become fast.

  Fine for PS3 & PS4, but average for anything else.

  To be honest, these things aren't bad if you want slightly snappier performance upgrading from a HDD on a laptop. But given how cheap SSDs are these days, you might as well just get a real SSD. You can almost get a 256GB one for the price of this after including shipping and exchange rates.

  These drives are the best answer for a particular situation:

  a) you have a laptop with a single 2.5" bay and no mSATA, and
  b) you want significantly more than 250GB space in it but don't need more than 1TB, and
  c) your drive budget is $100ish, not $250-500ish for a 500GB-1TB SSD.

    Could add a ssd and also add a hdd by removing the optical drive and replacing with a caddy if it supported by your model

  I have got one of these. It is not bad. I have upgraded from 5400rpm stock HDD to 7200rpm Hybrid. It made a big improvement. It is definitely faster than standard 5400rpm drive.

  Windows bootup speed was hugely improved.
