wow linus makes movies now i never knew that.

 

ok im having a hard time understanding what u are asking so im going try my best here.

 

1. u dont need usb for it to work in your pc u just plug into sata like a normal hdd

 

2. its 2 drives but in one cage so the ssd will perform as fast as a normal ssd would and the hdd will perform like a normal hdd

 

3.at the end that is a sata to usb if u want to plug the drive in to migrate data from your existing hdd in your computer this is not a permanent solution u should mount it inside your case and plug it in with normal sata into your motherboard.

The USB is for installing the driver for the drive and you only plug it in one time to install the software.

the usb thing is drivers to get access to the hdd, because it's not accessible without them. 

I don't always have time to study, but when I do, I don't.

I am assuming you do not speak english so Ill just keep it short.

 

The WD is two separate drives but in only one container with one sata/power connector. Each drive will perform at it's own pace and that is all.

1. It is not a charger, the USB is just for the driver so he can use both the Solid state and the Hard disk components of the drive.

2. They are not in RAID, SSD goes fast HDD goes slow

3. SATA.

right i forgot about that thing i was concentrating on trying to understand him and not thinking lol

1.that usb at the start is for drivers u plug it once then u are good like @Deddie said

 

2.a ssd alone is fast yes and a hdd alone is slow if there together (only for the specific product) its the exact same the ssd will be fast and the hdd will be slow its just like if u got a ssd alone and a hdd alone except they have put it in the same case to save space.

 

3. u can plug the drive into usb or sata but the usb should only be used temporarily.

 

the western digital black is not a sshd its not like the seagate momentous xt its simply just a hdd and an ssd together (they dont work together) on your pc it will show up as 2 seperate drives

Think of it like an SSD and a HDD that connect with one cable.

1.The USB thing is the drivers. (Instead of a CD, it is a thumb drive)


 


2.The SSD is not very fast by nature and the HDD is a 5400 RPM version, so it cannot hold a candle to a 7200 RPM one.


 


3. That is a USB to SATA adapter. That is used to connect the drive to a laptop that does not have 2 SATA ports.

It is both a SSD and HDD connected by a single SATA connector.
