    I have a Toshiba Qosmio x870-144 gaming laptop. It has a 128GB SSD and a 1TB 5400 RPM HDD. I have a spare Seagate 750GB Hybrid 7200rpm.
    Can I replace the 1TB HDD with the Seagate? Will I get better performance? Can the laptop handle this combination of SSD and Hybrid drive? Will this affect the temperatures of the unit? Thank you iam new to this forum sorry if i posted this in a wrong section

    As long as the form factor and connections are physically the same, you shouldn't have any issues doing what you've asked. As far as temps - same.
    If asked which of any two random drives would perform better, Hybrid vs Regular, I'd choose the hybrid - that's the point of them.
    Do it. Back up first if you can.

    Are you sure the Seagate drive is 2.5"?
