STORAGE FIRECUDA
Fastest HDD available today
While SSDs and other flash storage options are becoming popular
among consumers, these storage solutions, aren’t yet as cost
effective as the humble HDD. However, normal HDDs can’t really
keep up with a gamer’s needs. To overcome that problem, Asus uses
Seagate Firecuda SSHDs in its gaming laptops. These are the best in
class gaming oriented HDDs which come with embedded flash
drives. Hence, the term SSHD (Solid State Hybrid Drive). These are
also generally known as hybrid drives.
The Seagate Firecuda is self-optimized drive which stores the most
used data, be it the system boot procedure to the most used
applications (games) in the embedded SSD. This way, whenever the
application is started by the user, it starts faster and loads quicker.
In the meantime, the drive intelligently keeps checking user
preferences and tries to make whichever programs the user is using,
faster.
