Western Digital launches the Black2 dual drive-- an industry first according to the company since it "fuses" a 2.5-inch 120GB SSD with a 1TB HDD to create a dual-drive solution.
Designed for both consumers and service providers wanting to upgrade notebooks, small form factor desktops and single-slot/all-in-one PCs, the Black2 connects via single cable and fits standard 9.5mm slots.
The drive offloads data usage from the SSD to the HDD, increasing SSD endurance and life while providing users with greater data control. It makes no use of caching algorithms and benefits from SATA 6Gb/sec speeds.
Packaged with a legacy SATA connector in the standard 9.5mm 2.5-inch form factor, the Black2 is compatible with Windows PCs ranging from XP onwards.
