https://www.pcgamer.com/seagate-is-prepping-a-25-inch-barracuda-ssd-for-an-amazon-prime-day-debut/ > Seagate hasn't been all that active in the solid state drive space, at least in the consumer sector, with most of its SSD efforts focused on the enterprise market. Apparently that is about to change. The storage maker is releasing a new Barracuda SSD that it will market alongside its Firecuda drives. > The Barracuda SSD is a different animal, though. It's an actual SSD, whereas Firecuda drives are solid state hard drive (SSHD) solutions—basically a mechanical hard drive with an SSD buffer to speed up read and write operations of frequently accessed programs.
