For those wondering which SSHD to buy, the answer is: Seagate Firecuda SSHD.

Now, there is a problem to buying this SSHD though. There exists several SKUs of the Firecuda SSHDs, all of which has different specs.

So guys, TAKE EXTRA, EXTRA NOTE when you buy a Firecuda.
You want to make sure that the serial number is:

1TB drive - ST1000LX001
2TB drive - ST2000LX001

These 2 drives with the 'LX' prefix has 32GB of NAND where as the other models - M015 and M028 only has 8GB of NAND. That is a major difference. 8GB of NAND is simply not enough (nor even fast enough) to store games on the cache to take advantage of the flash memory. This has been proven in the past before. By right, we're already nearly in 2017 and NANDs on SSHD should be at least 64GB in space.

As a bonus the LX drives are also quieter than the M series drives.

All the LX and M series drives are classified as Firecuda drives, why? Ask Seagate. rolleyes.gif
So once again, PAY ATTENTION to which SSHD you are buying.

LX reference to Firecuda that is a SSHD but LM should be a Barracuda HDD instead. No?
