I think this is nothing more than a gimmick

Of Seagate trying to establish itself as an 'innovative market leader in storage technology'.

These SSDs are probably no better or no worse than other brands.

The storage duopoly of WD and Seagate will only continue to erode as SSDs get cheaper and better.

Currently, I still recommend high capacity HDDs to store/backup your 'stuff', and a smaller (and more affordable) SSD to load your OS, installed programs, installed drivers etc. Clone your SSD boot drive to another SSD if you're really paranoid.

Remember to backup often, preferably both offline (extra drives, RAID) and online (cloud storage solutions from more than one source).
