How to Choose Between SSD, SSHD, HDD Storage for Your Laptop
HDDs offer capacity and low price. SSDs are fast. SSHDs combine the best of both HDD and SSD.
Choosing High Performance Storage Is Not About RPM Anymore
Looking for performance? Solid state hybrid drives make RPM largely irrelevant as a spec

Seagate Adaptive Memory technology.
Seagate Adaptive Memory technology effectively identifies the most frequently-used data in your computer. This data is stored in the ultra-fast NAND flash memory which results in blazing fast boot times, and a super responsive experience where you wait less and do more. This technology is constantly working and adapting to way you work and access information.
Solid State Hybrid Drive (SSHD) Reliability.
A typical HDD depends on moving parts and spinning media. An SSD does not have moving parts, however its limited by how many times data can be written to it. So, separately, each technology can have a downside. Together, they complement each other nicely. An SSHD reads primarily from SSD memory, placing less wear and tear on the HDD. Writing is achieved primarily on the HDD, helping to reduce the write-cycle wear issue.
