I came across this article talking about the differences between laptop and desktop gaming rigs. They highlighted a few key factors such as processor chips and graphics cards as being factors; and they are.
But I’ll be honest; they missed a big opportunity by forgetting to mention storage, especially the Seagate SSHD drive for desktop or the Seagate SSHD drive for laptops.
Finally, a drive that merges into one the worlds of speed, capacity and price – it’s a gamer’s dream.
Why do these attributes matter? Ha! Only a non-gamer would make such a query. Let me break it down for you.
Speed – The Seagate SSHD loads your (game) data faster. Getting geekie for a second, our SSHD technology uses the right amount of ultra-fast NAND flash (the same type used in SSDs, mind you) thusly increasing the performance or your system. Our Adaptive Memory™ technology effectively identifies the most frequently used data and stores it in the NAND flash. Mind. Blown.
Capacity – Seagate SSHD drives are big– really big. The 4TB Desktop SSHD can hold up to 66,000 hours of music or 1,280,000 photos and about 2,000 games. To keep it real, that allows for way more than every iteration of Call of Duty, The Sims and Roller Coaster Tycoon (if you’re feeling nostalgic) combined. So you can naturally expect our 4TB desktop drive to easily double that! Which brings us to the next feature …
Price – Sure, SSDs are faster … by a few seconds. But you don’t get nearly as much capacity in an SSD, and they’re more expensive. Seagate SSHDs can give you 4x the capacity at half the price.
So which platform is better for gaming – desktops or laptops? With Seagate SSHD inside, it doesn’t matter. You’ll be faster, with more space and have the melodious jingle of spare change in your pocket as you head to the grocery store for a fresh pack of Mountain Dew.
Check out Seagate SSHD desktop drive or Seagate SSHD laptop drive and get ready to get your game on.
