SSHD firecuda performance...

[SupremeGoose]

I just got a brand new SSHD Firecuda 1TB sshd 3.5 inch and it feels like nothing exceptional, it isnt really that fast or noticeably, it has already frozen a couple times and bsod once after my computer went to sleep, i dont have that many files at all on the drive and was wondering how can i see performance?

my computer specs are:
OS: Windows 7 professional
System manufactuer: Gigabyte technology
64 bit system
Graphics card: NVIDIA geforce GTX 950
750 watt power supply from cooler master
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7- 3770 CPU @ 3.40 ghz, 3901 mhz,4 cores and 8 logical processors
BIOS: american megatrends inc, F15q 1/7/2013
SMBIOS ver: 2.7
8GB Ram
1 terrabyte SSHD

You could try CrystalDiskMark, but SSHDs aren't really all that better than HDDs. They slowly get a bit faster by using the onboard flash chips as cache, so files used most often will load faster, but they're not anywhere near SSD-grade speed (or even that much faster than HDDs).

ah i guess its just worth sticking with this until i get the money for an ssd then, but yes i have crystaldiskmark, just was a bit sad to see this sshd not go that fast
