Review: Great Product, install instructions if needed... - I'm writing this not only to give positive reviews for these two products, but to consolidate the hours of research and trial/error I did during install: OEM: HD - Fujitsu 320 GB HDD - mhz2320bh g2 ATA, 5400rpm RAM - 4.00GB (3.75 useable); 2x 2GB, 800MHZ, 200-PIN, PC2-6400, Sdram (Sodimm); DDR2 800, CL=6 NEW: HD - Seagate 1 TB SSHD, 6Gb/s, 64 MB Cache 2.5” RAM - Komputerbay 8 GB (2x 4GB) PC2 DDR2-800 SoDIMM Dual Channel Install of new hardware on HP dv7 1245dx: I installed the RAM and SSHD at same time. 1. Before opening up computer, I backed up my OEM drive to an external drive. Also, whenever opening up the laptop, be mindful of static electricity. I wear nitrile gloves to avoid any discharge. Doesn’t take much to cause issues. 2. RAM: Laptop recognized RAM automatically after restart and utilized right away. Showed up in System Information screen. Noticeably faster. Awesome. I also noticed that my fan, which usually runs at high speed about half the time, didn’t run high at all during all of this. 3. SSHD: This computer has two hard drive bays. You can install the new drive into either bay. The original bay (on left) will be labeled “0”, and the second one is “1” in the Disk Management program in Windows 7. Since having both hard disks in the laptop, I was able to do all the following from the same laptop. Did some internet searching, but here’s how I installed new SSDH: a. Start  type, “Create and format”; should get a menu item that reads full, “Create and format hard disk partitions”. b. This will bring up the Disk Management program from which you can interface with the hard drives on your computer. My new SSHD was labeled default, “Disk 1”, and reading as, “Online”. c. Right click on Disk 1  New Simple Volume… This will allow you to copy files to that drive. d. Assign whatever letter and name you want. It will get changed by Windows later to C:. (I named mine “A:”). e. You should be able to now see the new drive show up in Windows Explorer. f. Now to install from OEM to new drive to become the primary. (If you simply want your new drive to be the secondary, then copy and paste whatever you want to the new drive – it does not need an OS to do this): i. I used Macrium Reflect Free. Install this or whatever mirroring software you choose. ii. My OEM drive has a C: partition and a D: Recovery partition. If you copy both these to the new drive, then the new drive will use only the amount of memory that is required for these drives, and deem the rest of the new drive as “Unallocated”. You can extend the memory range only for the partition that is physically next to this unallocated partition within Disk Management. If you copy both the C: and D: partitions of the OEM drive, then the D: Recovery partition will be the only one you can extend, as it will be physically next to the unallocated partition. So… iii. Using your mirroring program of choice, copy ONLY the C: partition. This will allow you to extend the memory space of this partition to all but a small amount of the new drive. May take a couple hours. (*Note: One of the options is to create a Dynamic partition. This will allow that partition to communicate with other separate drives. I didn’t find this necessary.) iv. Go back into Disk Management and make a New Simple Volume of this small space on the new drive. Label as, “Recovery”. (*Note: I was not able to copy the D: Recovery partition from the OEM to the new drive. When I tried through Macrium the last screen prior to initiating this move said it was going to format the A: drive. You may be able to get this work.) v. Go back to Disk Management (via, “Create and partition” in Start search bar). You should see a clone of your C: partition on your new drive, and a formatted, empty D: Recovery partition. g. (After some internet searching it was said that I would need to change the boot order within BIOS to read the new drive first during boot. However, I found this not to be necessary.) h. Shut down laptop and take the OEM drive out of the left bay and put the new drive into that bay. Leave the OEM out for now. i. Reboot. This may take a minute or so due to system reconfiguring. j. Check Windows Explorer. The new drive, now in the left bay, should show up as C: and D: Recovery. This is now the new boot disk for the laptop. It may even be a good idea to restart, just to make sure all is in order with the new drive. k. You can put the OEM drive into the right bay if desired. Windows will automatically label the partitions in the OEM drive. This is a nice alternative to having an external drive. You can use this as a backup or whatever. It’s nice to have immediate access to an old version of your files in case something happens within the new drive. 4. Hopefully this was helpful. I did a lot of trial and error using general guidelines found online, but didn’t find anything for my specific laptop. Good luck!
Review: Works well in mid-2012 13" MacBook Pro - UPDATE: 3/20/14 I am revising my previous negative review (below). I have finally learned what was going on. Nothing was wrong with the Seagate SSHD. The problem was with my MacBook Pro. After giving up on the Seagate drive, I ordered a Western Digital 1 TB drive, assuming that it would work in my laptop. But it didn't. My MacBook Pro absolutely refused to recognize the WD drive or the Seagate drive, yet it booted fine with the original drive it came with. So I did a little research, and learned that a very common problem with the unibody MacBook Pro series was defective SATA drive cables. Furthermore, the SATA drive cable also includes the sleep sensor assembly. That was the "Ah-ha!" moment for me, as my MacBook Pro had recently developed an annoying habit of occasionally failing to go to sleep when the lid was closed. It looked as if the two problems were related. I then took my MacBook Pro to the Apple store and explained my problem. The technician did some additional diagnostics and replaced both the original HD and the SATA cable. I went back home, plugged in the Seagate SSHD, and .... success! The Seagate SSHD was immediately recognized and formatted. Now that I have completed the system recovery, I'm actually very pleased with the speed of the drive. Startup is noticeably faster, as is the loading of frequently used programs like Safari and Mail. As long as the data can be cached, the response is significantly faster than an ordinary HD. So the lesson is this: if you have a newer MacBook Pro, and you absolutely cannot get it to recognize this drive, then replace the SATA cable, even if your laptop works just fine with its original drive. If your laptop is no longer covered by AppleCare, go to the iFixit web site and learn how to replace it yourself. It is not difficult to do, and it will save you many hours of frustration. _____________________ I bought this drive to upgrade my mid-2012 13" MacBook Pro (S/N identifier DTY3). Unfortunately, this Seagate drive is not compatible with my MacBook Pro. Despite repeated attempts on my part, Disk Utility refused to recognize the drive, even in Internet Recovery Mode. The drive did not even show up in the Disk Utility menu; as far as my MacBook Pro was concerned, it wasn't even connected to the SATA cable. In order to check if the drive was defective, I then installed it in a late 2006 white plastic MacBook (S/N identifier WGL). The MacBook immediately recognized the drive, and I formatted it as an OS X Extended Journaled disk. I then put the drive back into my MacBook Pro, with no change. The drive simply will not communicate with the mid-2012 version of the MacBook Pro. So beware if you intend to upgrade a newer MacBook Pro with this drive. Some reviewers have gotten it to work with their Apple laptops, but clearly there are models that are completely incompatible with this Seagate SSHD. It is particularly interesting to me that my old 2006 MacBook had no problem with the drive, but the MacBook Pro could not use it. It's a shame, because I really wanted to see how this drive performed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: ps4**
A: Yep works on PS4. 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.

*by A***R on November 5, 2015*

Bought for my PS4 console as OEM was giving filesystem errors. I read reviews for the disk on Amazon.com and then went with the purchase. The disk was delivered in sealed anti-static pouch with packing material around it in a box. It was not in original box of manufacturer. I exchange the disk in PS4 and copied the data from backup. The initial boot was smooth and all seemed fine. Over time the disk logic seem to have optimized the data storage layout in SSD part as those games that I play often do have a low load/unload time. The console now does boot up fast and games load faster.
