what is a 16gb 5400 rpm solid state drive?

Its a Solid State Drive...so it is much better than a regular hard drive or a 16gb USB drive. It doesn't spin, no moving parts, less mechanical error, and files store on it (like the operating system) will read much faster than a regular hard drive. I have a 120 gb solid state drive and my computer boots in 3 seconds. With that being said.....I also have a 2 tb drive as well but I play game and do video editing which this computer is not designed for.

well it seems that ASUS has made the same mistake , saying it comes with 16gb hard drive , which to me seems a way to small a hard drive for these days should be about at least 1 terabyte

This is a typo that will be corrected. Chromebox comes with a 16GB Solid State Drive.

It sounds like a pretty expensive USB drive which can be had for about $9-$20 bucks.

a chromebox is intended to store most of a user's data in the cloud, not on the "hard drive". so a 16GB hard drive should be more than sufficient.

1 TB hard drive with an 8gb solid state drive for quick start up and almost instant loading of frequently visited sites, also known as express cache. Its fast!

HHD = 750 GB 5400 RPM. You can see a complete spec sheet on Toshiba Web Site - Model S55-A Detailed Product Specs - Part number PSKK2U-05V08R

This model has a 1TB 5400RPM HDD, but also has a free hard drive bay. The first thing I did was buy a 500GB Samsung 840 SDD to boost system performance. I reinstalled windows on the new SSD and only use the 1 TB drive for movies, music, and other media.

I put in an SDD, then reformatted the drive that came preinstalled into a single partition (leaving the hidden partitions alone in case I need to restore later). After that, the drive shows up as 1.8TB, and it performs like a 5400RPM drive. That being said, I believe that in it's original configuration, it performed as an hybrid drive with 8GB of SSD, which greatly improved it's performance over a regular 5400RPM drive. Hope that helps some.

The cq62-410us uses a 2.5 inch notebook SATA Hard drive. It seems that this drive or one like it is what you'd be looking for.

No, it has a 5400 rpm drive. Really slows down otherwise great performance.

There are advantages to both. The 320s in the ENVY 17 are both 7200 RPM drives. 640GB drives are 5400 RPM which makes them a little slower. Although at 5400 RPM they are faster then most other 5400 RPM drives because the data is packed more densly on the platters.

It's 5400 rpm. Although 7200 rpm discs are usually faster at gathering data this hard drive will outperform both 5400 and 7200 standard hard drives. It's cache and solid state memory allows the drive to gather and process data very quickly. From the time I hit the power button to Windows 8.1 being up and ready to go usually clocks at around 14 to 18 seconds. I have an HP Envy DV6. Laptop with an I7 processor 6 gigs of Ram. Since installing this hard drive I have not found a desktop or another laptop that can keep up.

Yes it will. In general laptop hard drives like this one will work for most. It's best to check the manufacuter's website or the manual to see what the laptop is optimized for. While 5400 rpm is fast enough for general use, the faster HDD's cost more. Naturally you need to weigh the proformance and cost. It really depends on what you are using your laptop for and how much you are willing to spend. Hope that helped! :)

5400 RPM, Not the fastest but it backs up all my stuff. I've had mine for over a year and it works fine.

It is a typo. The Hard drive, or more specifically the Solid State Drive, is 256 Gb total as the other two answers state.

Mine has 2 Hitachi HTS727550A9E364 drives, which in this case translate to 500 GB 7200 RPM drives.http://www.hgst.com/travelstar-7k750In addition, it also features a SanDisk SSD i100 16 GB.

Dear Jose, These G-Drives come in 5400 and 7200rpm versions... read carefully! Luke

A 7200 rpm hard drive will run at said speed as a 5400 rpm hdd will run at 5400 rpm. The higher the rpm, the faster the drive.

I didn't purchase the 250. But the description says 7200 RPM, so that wouldn't be a solid state drive as they don't rotate.
