For the little bit extra cash you cannot go wrong with a hybrid drive. You really should invest in these over a standard if you cannot get an SSD and avoid regular hard drives unless you are using them purely for storage. SSHD are all I am using for windows boot drives in the future until SSD drops and I would recommend this to anybody and I have been building PCs for over 12 years. Review: BEWARE - this is NOT a Hybrid or SSHD drive as advertised - This is not a Hybrid or SSHD drive as advertised in the title (at time of writing the title on desertcart reads: "Toshiba MQ01ABF050H 500GB Hybrid Drive 5400rpm SATA 2.5 Inch 6.4mm Internal SSHD"). I opened and fitted drive before realising so can't return it. This is a perfectly ok 5400rpm HDD BUT it is NOT a Hybrid or SSHD drive as advertised by desertcart in the title. This is not what I wanted. Reading the description I see there is no mention of hybrid only mentioned in the title - I should have had my wits bout me when I purchased! These are available at dabs for £35 - reflecting the basic non sshd spec. Misleading product title. ## Features - Up to 500 GB capacity - Extra slim design with 7.0 mm height - Excellent power efficiency - Industry leading recording density ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00TEYARSS | | Best Sellers Rank | 5,057 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 11 in Internal Hard Drives | | Box Contents | Toshiba MQ2ABF050H 500 GB Hybrid Drive | | Brand | Toshiba | | Brand Name | Toshiba | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 500 | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Connectivity technology | SATA | | Customer Package Type | FFP | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 7 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 750 Megabytes Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 500 GB | | Digital storage capacity | 500 GB | | Enclosure Material | Aluminium | | Form Factor | 2.5-inch | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05051868736308 | | Hard Disk Description | Mechanical Hard Disk | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | Serial ATA | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 5400 RPM | | Hard disk form factor | 2.5 Inches | | Hard disk interface | Serial ATA | | Hard-Drive Size | 500 GB | | Hardware Connectivity | ATA | | Hardware Platform | x86 | | Installation Type | Internal Hard Drive | | Item Weight | 0.35 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Toshiba | | Manufacturer Part Number | MQ01ABF050H | | Media Speed | 750 MB/s | | Model Name | 02ABF050H | | Model Number | MQ02ABF050H | | Network Connectivity Technology | SATA | | Number of Items | 50 | | Product Features | Portable | | Special feature | Portable | | Specific Uses For Product | Multimedia | ## Product Details - **Digital storage capacity:** 5E+2 GB - **Hard disk interface:** Serial ATA - **Connectivity technology:** SATA - **Brand:** Toshiba - **Special feature:** Portable - **Hard disk form factor:** 2.5 Inches - **Hard disk description:** Mechanical Hard Disk - **Compatible devices:** Desktop, Laptop - **Installation type:** Internal Hard Drive - **Hard disk size:** 500 GB ## Images ![Toshiba MQ2ABF050H 500 GB Hybrid Drive 5400rpm SATA 2.5-inch 6.4 mm Internal SSHD - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61W7vBP5JJL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As A PC Builder Of 12 Years I Cannot Recommend These Enough! *by M***D on 26 January 2016* As hard drives come this thing is amazing, Okay its not an SSD but compared to a standard 7200 it just blows it away, windows 8.1 boots up in as little as 23 seconds (my SSD boots w10 in 16 and my other comp with a 7200 boots in over 4 minutes!) which is really nice and games seem to load faster not to mention apps.
