No but he has a better CPU. I have the i5 7600 he has i7 7700k
Things of note
1) you have an SSHD. Meaning there is a small SSD caching your HDD. Meaning that certain load times will have SSD type load times. But you will have HDD write times and HDD load times when you first load an application or load something that isn't cached on the small SSD used for caching.
2) possible software differences between the platforms the SSD might be loading up more software? Pending patches on the SSD etc. Multiple boots using a "sanitized OS" (An OS image with preset patches and software installed) are usually used when benchmarking drives etc.
So you will notice SSD time load times on a true SSD for all applications instead of only those that are cached and will also experience faster installation times on a true SSD.
EDIT NOTE: The Firecuda drives have an 8GB MLC SSD Cache. This is not very big I used Primocache which allows me to use memory/SSD for caching data from a drive (Including the boot drive) and I used 5GB easily just to speed up boot times. This leaves 3GB for everything else. So I'd say most of the time you are likely going to be reading data directly from the HDD on your Firecuda SSHD.
