Sorry about the late reply... thank you for your help! I feel better about the setup now that I know a bit more about it all.

Oh, I see, thanks! So even those seemingly low values on the SSHD drive are pretty standard? (I don't have any frame of reference, this is the first time I've even done or seen a benchmark on my system.) I expected the SSD to be faster for obvious reasons, but didn't expect there to be such a...

Kind of a noob here... just put a new primary SSD and secondary SSHD (hybrid) drive into my Dell XPS8500 desktop PC. The SSD came with software called "Samsung Magician," which has tools for OS Optimization and also tests your Performance Benchmark. I have no idea about benchmarks and what's...

Ok, awesome, thanks again! I love this forum. :D

I'm kind of a noob here, but just installed a new SSD (for OS & programs) and will also be putting in an SSHD hybrid as a secondary drive for personal files. I also use extended monitors. It just occurred to me, from browsing the forum, that maybe I should make sure my PSU can safely support...

Okay, thanks again!

Okay, great, thank you! Do you know if there's any difference (or preference) between using Seagate's DiscWizard software to format/partition it and using Windows 10 Disk Management? The instruction booklet with the hybrid drive said to use DiscWizard if you're installing a 2nd drive, but then...

My hard drive died a while back and I replaced it with an SSD for the OS and programs, and now I am also going to put in a new 2TB SSHD/hybrid drive as a secondary drive for personal files (I need the space for my massive photo collection). Is there anything special I need to do when installing...

I'm not an advanced user or anything, so maybe shouldn't open my mouth, hah... but I've had weird/unexplainable problems like that in the past and it ended up being a dead memory stick. (1 out of the 4 was bad.)

Just following up, everything went great, Windows 10 is back on my computer and the new SSD is running great. Like we talked about, the problem was simply that I had been using the wrong method to reinstall Windows 10! I feel silly. :P The Win10 ISO file downloaded online was what I needed...

Ok, thank you!! Yes, I will be doing new and fresh install then. And will definitely wait before installing the 2nd drive. Since I only have a Chromebook right now to use, I will have to wait until tomorrow to download the proper ISO file... so I might update the thread to say whether it went...

I don't mind a new OS install. I would love to just have an exact copy of my other broken drive, but I am actually going to be installing another hard drive (a SSHD hybrid) as a secondary drive for my files/docs/music, etc, this time around. And then my OS and programs will be on the primary...

Thank you for the video... that was what I was expecting, and knew it should be easy, so was disappointed to run into this problem, haha I created my recovery drive using this method (long before my hard drive crashed): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/create-a-recovery-drive. Is...
