Re: Western Digital Debuts World's First SSD+HDD Dual Drive

I'm currently reading the TweakTown article you linked to on the WD Black ^2. However, I can say its a bit disheartening to see their implementation of a hybrid drive requiring software for HDD functionality.

One would think that their is only software for Windows which is great for Windows but will leave other OSes out in the cold.

I'll keep reading but my concern now is the question of recovering data from the HDD component of the hybrid drive if the system it was installed in should fail.

Well now.....that is one hell of a good point.
