Description
The MB882HX-1SB 2.5 SATA SSD Xpander Hybrid Adapter is a device that allows you to combine a high speed 2.5 SATA SSD with a high capacity 3.5 SATA hard drive to create a new breed of species. This allows you to increase the hard drive's transfer rate by up to 2X. The adapter is the same size as a 3.5 hard drive and is compatible with most common PC cases.
Introducing the MB882HX-1SB 2.5 SATA SSD Xpander Hybrid Adapter.
Using a high speed 2.5 SATA SSD and a high capacity 3.5 SATA hard
drive, you can combine them to create a new breed of species.
Using our hybrid technology, we can take a moderate or 2nd
generation 2.5 SATA SSD in combination with a mid to higher end
3.5 SATA hard drive which automatically creates hybrid partition
and storage partition. The hybrid partition doubles the
capacity of the SSD drive and provides high performance in transfer
rates. The storage partition gives you the remaining capacity of
the hard drive* (the size of the 3.5 SATA hard drive minus hybrid
partition size).
This is the perfect upgrade solution without purchasing an
expensive high capacity SSD. The Xpander Hybrid Adapter doubles the
sequential transfer rates of the hard drive exclusively in the
hybrid partition, it is great for people who move, play or edit
large media files. Such as a video editor, graphic designer, HD
movie enthusiast that use applications like Adobe Photoshop, Sony
Vegas and Windows Media Center that require large file loads /
transfers. For editing, you can use the hybrid portion as a sketch
drive; move the working files to it for fast editing. When you are
done with the file we recommend moving the file to a RAID protected
archive drive. The storage partition is perfect for non-important
applications or files i.e. games, movies, music, or other media
files.
Recommendations:
1. When using the Xpander Hybrid Adapter if either the SSD or the
hard drive fails, all data will be lost on both drives. We
recommend that you always save your important data to a RAID
protected archive drive.
2. For best results, we recommend using an inexpensive 2nd
generation SATA II 2.5 SSD (roughly 250MB/sec in read/write speed)
with a good performance 7200RPM 3.5 SATA II hard drive (roughly
130MB/sec in read/write speed).
- Create a high performance hybrid partition that doubles the
capacity of the SSD drive used.
- Create a storage partition which gives you the remaining
capacity of the hard drive minus
- hybrid partition size.
- Increase the hard drive transfer rate by up to 2X for both
sequential read/write speeds **
- Perfect for Media related applications.
- Airflow vents for heat dissipation.
- Screw-less design for quick & easy SSD installation.
- Universal mounting holes for most common PC case.
- The adapter is the same as a 3.5 hard drive in dimension and
compatible with most
- common PC cases.
Note: Performance dominantly dependent on selection of SSD and hard
drive.
