Swapping out your old HDD for a new SSD drive is one of the quickest and easiest ways to speed up the performance of an older PC, but now there’s an even newer option for computers and video game consoles. An SSHD, or solid state hybrid drive, takes the killer performance of a solid state drive and makes it fully compatible with HDD to create a high-capacity drive that’s still affordable. How affordable, you ask? Amazon just began carrying two new SSHDs from Seagate and you can grab one for as little as $70.
