WD black 4tb HDD is more expensive on newegg then Seagate's 4tb SSHD

 

Seagate SSHD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822178379

 

WD HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236622

 

This just seemed odd to me because i would assume a SSHD would still outperform a WD Black drive. If this is normal then please correct me.

So is SSHD a HDD with speed of a SSD or close to it?

 

Is this even smarter to buy then a regular HDD?

youre probably paying for the warrenty and the WD features with the black

As I understand it, it is a Solid State Hybrid Drive that uses Solid State memory for thing that are most commonly used on the hard drive so that those can be brought up faster in the future. It should be faster than a mechanical hard drive but IDK if it is less reliable. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Overall the black drive has  more reliability, lots of software and features, and a 5 years warranty.

well its like 10 euro expensiver in sweden then a regular drive. Maybe in the future when i buy a PC i get SSHD drives if they are better then regular drives because the price difference is so small and by that time i dont think money would be a problem:)
