Get in the Game. Upgrade Your Gaming Hard Drive
SSHD is an easy, low-cost way to give your laptop or mobile device a powerful performance boost.

• Get performance you never thought possible, at a fraction of the cost of SSD
• Add capacity without adding complexity to get more from your PC, Mac, tablet or game console
• Easy DIY upgrade solutions available

SSD+HDD = Best Solid State Hard Drive
Seagate Mobile and Laptop SSHDs integrate NAND flash with traditional hard drive storage to create a hybrid drive with the speed of NAND flash and the high capacity of a hard drive.

• Blazing fast boot and launch times; boots Windows 7 up to 35% faster
• Installs and works like a typical hard drive - no special device drivers needed
• Utilises solid-state NAND flash and hard drive capacity for unmatched data integrity and reliability
• Performance optimized by Seagate Adaptive Memory technology

Hybrid Drives with SSD Performance, Only Bigger and Badder
SSHDs utilise Seagate Adaptive Memory technology to deliver SSD-like performance. Both Seagate testing and independent reviews demonstrate consistently that Seagate Laptop and Mobile SSHD performance compares favorably to SSDs without sacrificing capacity for cost.

A Richer Gaming Experience, Compatible with PC & Mac
Seagate Hybrid Drives are designed to work in any standard laptop computer, PC, Mac OS and some console gaming devices that use a standard hard drive. Unlike other hybrid solutions there are no special drivers or software to install and configure. It installs and works just like a hard drive - only faster!

Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 Level 2
Security Level 2 enhances the physical security mechanisms of a Security Level 1 cryptographic module by adding the requirement for tamper-evidence, which includes the use of tamper-evident coatings or seals on removable covers of the module. Tamper-evident coatings or seals are placed on a cryptographic module so that the coating or seal must be broken to attain physical access to the critical security parameters (CSP) within the module. Tamper-evident seals are placed on covers to protect against unauthorized physical access. In addition Security Level 2 requires, at a minimum, role-based authentication in which a cryptographic module authenticates the authorization of an operator to assume a specific role and perform a corresponding set of services.
