Laptop HDD to a new SSHD

[wng_kingsley7]

As it is written in the title and I'll elaborate on it. So I have a 500Gb hard drive and its not like its not enough for my laptop although its pretty darn slow doesn't obviously have the speed of a ssd however since sshd's have a super mass storage with a 8 gigabytes of ssd for cache to accelerate the mass drive it'll help me I guess, Should I get a larger mass drive of 1TB I don't mind buying a 500gb one but I feel that my laptop will be staying by my side for another 2-3 years at least.

Planning on getting this.

Also my current drive runs very toasty  as in 50'c in proper operation and sometimes idle.

Thanks Kingsley. Please leave any suggestions underneath I really do appreciate it.

I hate laptop hdds they are just slow and hot! haha but anyways i heared the sshd is supposed to be pretty darn goog especially if you dont want an extra ssd for cashing or dont have the space! I would definetely give it a go! Though I personally would probably by a 250 gb ssd for my laptop and just store huge data on an external drive...

SSHD's are good for loading the OS (and other things you open regularly). But for everything else, you get HDD speeds. Or so i've heared, this is what i was told when deciding whether to get a 240gb ssd or a 1tb sshd.

What laptop do you have? Maybe you can use a mpcie ssd or replace your optical drive with a hdd caddy.
