Would you use a Seagate SSHD ?
We posted a review on the Seagate 1TB SSHD HYBRID drive with 32GB NAND FLASH. The performance is pretty good.
So if you have a choice, would you buy one?
The review is here.

Seagate 1TB (32GB NAND cache) SSHD Review
Wenchang 28 Apr 2016
Introduction
Solid State Hybrid Drives (SSHD) combines NAND flash based cache memory and mechanical disk platters, to deliver a blend of high capacity & speed at a more affordable price, compared to pure SSDs.
Seagate recently refreshed their SSHD lineup with the ST1000LX001.
This is a performance 2.5 inch 9.5mm hard drive – 1TB 5400rpm hard drive coupled with 32GB of NAND flash.
•High performance, high-capacity storage, all in one drive
•32GB NAND flash technology performs up to 4x faster application load time1 compared to the traditional 7200rpm HDDs.
•Easy installation and compatible with any computer and operating system.

How it works
Seagate SSHD utilizes Seagate Adaptive Memory technology that tracks data usage and prioritizes frequently used data for faster access in the NAND flash. Quadrupling the built-in NAND flash to 32GB provides a larger cache size for a bigger data sets tasks like multiple games loading and multiple applications launching, thus enhances the computing experience for gamers, prosumers and media creators.

For a laptop, I won't. It's still sensitive to vibrations when the laptop is moved.
For a desktop or laptop that is pretty much stationary, I may if the price is right.

As much data as my daughter downloads, I think I need to put one in her laptop.

If you ever tried using a laptop with HDD on a moving vehicle (especially bigger ones like a bus), the hdd will be slow like molasses as it tries to read/write at intervals whenever it can afford to.
Plus, one can handle/carry a powered on laptop with a SSD more roughly.

Yeah, while the head parking mechanism on the HDD & G sensors implemented within the laptop HDD enclosure can prevent damage to the HDD, it also stops the hdd from responding in a timely matter.
And people use notebooks or tablets on public transport. Solid state storage makes a big difference for using computing devices on the go.

Well I don't think many people will use a notebook in a rocky trip, be it on the bus or train.
