FIRECUDA COMPUTE
The Fastest PC Hard Drive

Combining flash technology with a hard drive platform, the FireCuda™ 2.5 flash-accelerated hard drive represents the fastest 2.5-inch hard drive available.

Key Advantages

• Flash-accelerated technology delivers blazing load speeds that allow for nonstop performance, play and productivity up to 5× faster than standard HDDs. (SSHD Solid State Hybrid Drive)
• Save time with a drive that boots in seconds, no minutes.
• Enormous 500GB, 1TB and 2TB options make FireCuda the highest-capacity 2.5-inch hard drive on the market, providing customers a high-performance experience while being able to store massive amounts of data, all within a thin 7mm z-height.
• Green Hybrid™ feature reduces device power consumption, helping users extend their drive’s life and keep their costs down with a power-efficient drive.
• Multi-Tier Caching Technology™ (MTC) enhances performance by using NAND flash, DRAM and media caching technologies, enabling users to load applications and files even faster
• Adaptive Memory™ technology identifies frequently accessed data, thereby providing the data faster, consuming less power and extending drive life.
• 512-byte sector emulation
