WD introduces SSD+HDD Dual Drive
WD(NASDAQ:WDC) has further strengthened its product portfolio with a new WD Black2 dual-drive, a 2.5-inch 120GB solid-state drive (SSD) with a 1TB hard disk drive (HDD) to offer a powerful dual-drive solution. Perfect for consumers and service providers looking to upgrade notebooks, small form- factor desktops, and single-slot and All-in-One (AIO) systems with both SSD level performance and HDD capacity, the WD Black2 dual-drive connects through a single cable and fits into a conventional 9.5 mm slot.
Our customers told us they like our Solid-State Hybrid Drive technology, but our tech-savvy users asked for more control of where they store their data. The WD Black2 dual drives empower our customers to enjoy SSD performance and access high-capacity storage in a no-compromise package. The WD Black2 dual drive is a direct result of our interaction with our customer base through WD Labs initiatives. WD devised its beta labs program to provide an exclusive testing arena for key customers and technology influencers of existing and emerging WD storage products, said Matt Rutledge, Senior Vice-President of WD’s Storage Technology business unit.
Specifically designed for enthusiasts, creative professionals, gamers and PC builders, the WD Black2 dual drive provides improved overall drive capacity, performance, and reliability, while offering the flexibility to choose how and where their data is stored. Utilizing the benefits of both flash and magnetic disks, WD Black2 dual drives offload data usage from the SSD to the HDD, which increases endurance and life of the SSD. Users maintain greater data control, which can eliminate the need and expense of cloud-based storage.
WD Black2 dual drives are covered by a five-year limited warranty. As far as availability and pricing in India are concerned, the company has not announced anything.
