Abstract: Solid State Drive (SSD) memang cepat, tapi harganya mahal. Sedangkan hardisk lebih terjangkau tapi punya performa yang biasa saja. Western Digital (WD) coba memadukan dua kelebihan perangkat tersebut dalam satu kemasan. Penggabungan SSD dan HDD dalam sat...
Squeezes SSD and hard drive storage into one laptop drive bay, Five-year warranty, Elaborate, user-friendly packaging and install utilities
SSD capacity is scanty by today's standards, SSD portion of drive is sluggish, as SSDs go, A 250GB- or 500GB-class pure SSD will be a better value for most users, 9.5mm thick
The unique Black2 kit combines a full-fledged SSD with a 1TB hard drive in one chassis, letting you install both kinds of storage in a single laptop drive bay. Even with a recent price drop, however, it's a lukewarm value for most notebook upgraders, giv...
Abstract: Every mobile user who is limited to just one storage bay wants the best of both worlds: SSD speeds with HDD capacities. Both Seagate and WD have a one-drive solution to this problem, with Seagate offering a hybrid 1TB hard drive with an SSD cache for SSD-...

SSDHDD in a 9.5mm height with total storage space of about 1.1TB, 5 Years Warranty
Bad write performance for an SSD, Too Expensive for the performance it provides, Only meant for notebooks with minimum 9.5mm ZAxis HDD cage
Dissapointing. While the mechanical HDD's performance is not surprising since its a WD Slim Blue 1TB, the 120GB's performance is not good. While the read is pretty decent, writes are horrible for an SSD.SSD+ HDD in a 9.5mm height with total storage spa...

Abstract: Hybrid drives have been around for some time now but not in the 2.5 inch category. A combo SSD + HDD profile that can replace a laptop or mobile drive with some smart technology is a welcome advancement. Migrating the OS+ from a HDD to SSD can offer some mighty big benefits....
Abstract: The Western Digital Black² Dual Drive is truly a unique and innovative drive. It is not a hybrid drive, but a combo drive - a combination of a solid state drive and a hard disk drive in one package. In the past, laptop users would have to choose b...
Delivers some of the benefits of an SSD, Provides 1.1TB of storage
Very slow SSD write performance, Driver required to access hard drive, 9mm drive height won't fit in every laptop
The WD Black2 is faster than a mechanical hard drive, but it's not nearly as fast as a comparably priced 500- to 512GB SSD. Its SSD write speed is particularly disappointing....

There are two conditions in which the Black2 makes sense:1) You have a laptop with a single 2.5" hard drive bay and no mSATA slot2) You need more capacity than 480/512GB and/or aren't willing to pay for a 500GB class SSD.If your answer to both questions i...
