Seagate laptop SSHD or 7k1000?

[404Rusty]

I'm looking to upgrade my hard drive in my HP Envy m6-1115tx as it seems to cap out at 30ish MB/s. I was looking at the Seagate SSHD and the hitachi 7k1000, but I'm not sure which would be better.

The SSHD has a 5400 rpm vs the 7k1000's 7200 but the sshd also has its build in 8GB ssd.
What do you all think? Thanks in advance.

Edit: This drive will be boot drive as well as data and games.

i would recommend the sshd from seagate because it has a learning curve from the constant use of programs and startup

I would go with sshd as it will learn what programs you use the most and caches it to the ssd side.
