However, SSHD technology is not a cure-all, which Seagate readily admits; users craving extreme performance will likely desire more than an SSHD provides. The Gen2’s slight performance advantage over the Gen3 comes from its 7,200 RPM spins compared to the Gen3’s 5,400 RPM (with Seagate’s standardization of laptop drives to 5,400 RPM). As Seagate does not warrant the data on your drive, in addition to regular back-ups, your data should be backed up, if possible, before upgrading the drive firmware. However, now at just 7mm, it’s a perfect fit for new-generation laptops and essentially any user-configuration.Behind the scenes though, we did notice that before the data was cached, the initial transfer speed was slightly slower than the original 7,200RPM-based models and took much longer to be absorbed as “hot data”. Wanneer het venster Bestand downloaden wordt weergegeven, klikt u op Uitvoeren om het downloadpakket uit te pakken naar uw harde schijf. This situation, in part, was based on a lack of friendly firmware download tools and operating system limitations.

The Serial ATA host adapter and drive share the function of emulating parallel ATA device behavior to provide backward compatibility with existing host systems and software. For this reason we turned to our StorageMark 2010 traces, which include HTPC, Productivity, and Gaming traces to help readers find out how a drive might rank under their conditions.This test includes: a three hour period operating in an office productivity environment with 32-bit Vista running Outlook 2007 connected to an Exchange server, web browsing using Chrome and IE8, editing files within Office 2007, viewing PDFs in Adobe Reader, and an hour of local music playback with two hours of additional online music via Pandora. In the StorageMark 2010 HTPC 4K Disk Capture, the Seagate Gen3 offered substantially higher performance, boosting throughput by 18.

Our Database profile again showed the Seagate Gen3 as a strong runner-up to the Gen2 plateauing at 64 IOPS, steady to 128. If newer firmware is available for your drive, it will reflect the improvements we have engineered for the latest manufacturing. Seagate recommends applying new firmware to enhance the performance and or reliability of your drive. Our synthetic benchmarks are geared at showing the performance of the drive in an uncached “worst case” scenario, while our real-world traces allow the drive to cache data and better show how the drive would perform during repetitive day-to-day activities.

Additionally, as stated above and in our news release for the Seagate SSHD Gen3 line, the NAND is MLC, not SLC as in the previous generation. If you have this type of hard disk, please select Send test report to developer option from the Report menu.
