Seagate 500 GB Laptop SSHD ST500LM000 — An Affordable Speed-Up for Older Laptops

The Seagate 500 GB Laptop SSHD (model ST500LM000) is currently $72.48 CAD on Amazon.ca (list $78.93). Free shipping for Prime members; non-Prime orders ship free over $35 CAD.

It's a solid state hybrid drive — a traditional mechanical HDD with NAND flash cache, using Seagate's Adaptive Memory technology to keep frequently used data on the flash. The result is noticeably faster boot and app launch times than an ordinary 5400-rpm drive (Seagate claims up to 80% faster in PCMark Vantage), close to an SSD feel, while keeping full mechanical capacity and costing less than an equivalent SSD.

It's a 2.5-inch, 7 mm, SATA 6 Gb/s drive that fits virtually any laptop and also works in a PS4 — a straightforward drop-in upgrade. Comes with a 3-year warranty.

If you've got an ageing laptop that still runs a slow mechanical drive and you'd rather not buy a whole new machine, this is an easy, low-cost way to bring it back to life.
