The MSI GT70 2OC Gaming Notebook incorporates a 120GB Solid State Drive, and a 1TB 7,200 rpm drive inside.
The Solid State drive performs well, averaging almost 500 MB/s in the sequential read test, and 320 MB/s in the sequential write test. The mechanical 1TB hard drive also scores well, averaging around 135-140 MB/s in the sequential read and write tests. This is pretty much as good as you will get for a 2.5 inch mechanical drive.
