Know before you buy
While it functions like a standard hard drive, this SSHD includes 8GB of solid-state flash memory. It uses Adaptive Memory Technology to automatically move your most frequently accessed files to that faster flash storage, resulting in quicker boot times and snappier application performance.
No, this drive is designed to be plug-and-play. It installs and operates exactly like a standard hard drive, so your operating system will recognize it immediately without the need for additional software.
Yes, it is built to handle multitasking workloads. By prioritizing your most-used files in the flash memory, it provides a noticeable performance boost for demanding applications compared to a standard mechanical drive.
You may notice a slight delay initially, as the drive needs time to learn your usage patterns. The Adaptive Memory Technology works in the background to identify your most frequently used files, so performance typically improves as you continue to use the system.
This drive is backed by a 3-year limited warranty, providing coverage for hardware defects and reliability concerns during that period.
