WD Black2 – Performance and Capacity

Posted on March 14, 2014March 14, 2014 by Rob

Do you need the ultra-fast performance of an SSD (Solid State Drive) but the capacity and comparable price of a HDD (Hard Disk Drive)?

WD has just released the first two in one SSD (Solid State Drive) and HDD (Hard Disk Drive) combined.
