Which Hard Drive is faster?

[JamRam83]

Seagate 2TB SSHD or Crucial 2TB MX500?

For my next build...

ROG Maximus X Hero
i7-8700k
GTX 1080Ti

Would it be a close match? or would one blow the other away in performance? I know Seagate is $100 vs Crucial $500 so does that make the Crucial $400 extra in better performance? Thanks in advance!

an SSHD is a hybrid drive ? it's an SSD together with an HDD . maybe the second one is pure ssd ? the second one would be faster

SSHD is a hybrid solution, it is a normal HDD with a small SSD to boost speed abit.
It is expensive and waste of money but can be the only solution for laptops with only 1 2.5" HDD slot.

That Seagate is an SSHD
The Crucial is a pure SSD, this will perform a lot better but more expensive.

If you are on PC, get a 250GB or 500GB pure SSD for OS, loading heavy games, etc. and buy a normal HDD for data.
This way is the most cost efficient.

Pure SSD it is...I don't mind spending extra for better performance and quicker and easier life down the road. Thanks for quick response!
