What is a Hybrid Drive? |
|
A hybrid hard drive is a mass storage device that contains both a conventional hard drive and a flash memory module. The flash memory handles the data most frequently written to or retrieved from storage. These drives offer hybrid storage with Adaptive Memory technology, enabling the drive to deliver higher capacities and SSD performance for less money than a SSD. Adaptive Memory technology enables the drive to tailor its performance to the user. Whether you are gaming, editing digital media or crunching numbers, the performance is optimized and ready for your next move. Adaptive Memory technology is a Seagate data management technique that constantly monitors and quickly recalls data usage and preferences. It places files and data that the user will likely access again and again into the solid state portion of the drive. When the user requires the data or application file, it already sits in an instantly accessible location, thereby customizing system performance for the user. Constant monitoring dynamically improves overall response time based on personal usage. You can perform at your best no matter how you use your laptop or PC. |
