Yesterday I got a new Seagate SSHD and I have been trying to install Windows ever since. I have made it threw twice but each time something is wrong. The read and write speeds are low and can not run at 100% else they will just flat out and say 0kbps = 100% speed, as you can see in the image.


I sorted all the processes after which used the most and when I had run a write hungry application like an installer(Office) it just stops half way threw. Also tried CrystalMark and it just froze the system.


Disk
Brand: Seagate
Model: ST500LM000
Capacity: 500
Type: SSHD

Computer
Brand: Asus
Model: U41JF
Type: Notebook
OS tried install: W8 and TP

I have used another drive for testing and it worked fine.

Thanks for taking your time :D 

Sorry about the sideways images, no idea how to turn them.

The drive either is defective or it's incompatible with your laptop.

You can rotate your images in Windows Explorer or with Windows Paint, or even on your mobile.

I would start by using 3rd party utils and partition the drive on an external USB, run some tests make sure the drive is working, then instal into laptop and run Install CD.
