A SSHD is a special kind of HD. It is a HD which then has a SSD added as a deep cache. So it leverages the SSD it has for cached hits so it acts like a stand alone SSD! But unlike a SSD it also has the deep storage of a HD.

Lets look at the boot up process the OS is held in cache so the boot up is quicker. But if you load something thats not in cache it will take longer more like a HD in that case.

The size of the drive only becomes a factor in its physical size that it will fit is tight spaced systems (that shouldn't be an issue here).

The Seagate SSHD desktop drive offers SATA auto I/O speed sense. Review the specs sheet: [http://www.seagate.com/www-content/product-content/barracuda-fam/desktop-sshd/en-us/docs/desktop-sshd-data-sheet-ds1788-2-1308us.pdf|Seagate Desktop SSHD spec sheet]. Note the line: ''SATA Transfer Rates Supported (Gb/s)'' Here we can see all three SATA specs are supported ''6.0/3.0/1.5''. Not all drives (HD or SSHD) can do this! Some use a jumper and may only offer two options and others no options at all.

The SSHD comes in three size options 1TB, 2TB & 4TB any one will work here [http://www.seagate.com/internal-hard-drives/solid-state-hybrid/desktop-solid-state-hybrid-drive/#features|Seagate Desktop SSHD]
