WD Black² Dual Drive (120 GB SSD + 1TB HDD), 2-in-1 internal hard drive, 2.5-inch, SATA III, Black (Personal Computers)

Customer Review

First of all, if the Dual Drive (DD) runs, it's really fun! Fast boot process and launch programs quickly - benefits of a SSD halt!

I have my HP Envy DV6 7202eg thus finally accelerated in the right class.

Have decided on cloning.

What were the hurdles:
DD connected via cables, found in drives and confirmed as MBR, as shown in the video of WD.
Acronis WD Edition and started trying to clone the disk. Size output HDD previously been reduced to about 80GB.
Cloning process starts with the words "remain GPT", then it looks as if everything starts normally. Then a restart is required and Win8 boot normally again high. Since it was very quick to see control of the SSD drive in the Explorer = no data. Multiple the same process started, all to no avail.
I am concerned with MBR and GPT and SSD converted to GPT, clone still to no avail.
The Acronis WD Edition can not clone the partition, if it is not apparently MBR, this is only in the paid full version!
Looked around for an alternative program and met with DriveClone 10. THIS WAS THE SOLUTION!
Plates could be cloned, lasted very long, about 2 hours.
Installed DD and voilà computer boots normally, everything works.
Download and install WD tool to install the Dual Drive = worked without any problems.
Transfer own data, but the Dropbox folder it came constantly to abort. Cause? But no matter, charges from the cloud.
Suddenly continuous noise, as though starts as the HDD and stops every 1-3 seconds.
Firmware update is loaded and created by WD description a USB boot stick.
Result boot from the stick does not work because the HP Bios owns with UEFI and the stick apparently attacks only for old systems !? This I could not solve, until I came up with the idea to stick to test in my old laptop (no UEFI BIOS and Win7) = Bingo boots with Freedos unfortunately.
Next try the HP, but then carried out the emergency solution - installed WD DD in old laptop.
Booted from the stick and imported firmware update.
DD again built into HP and JUBBEL, everything works now and the HDD makes no more noise!

It may well be that on the old systems, the installation instructions work smoothly if all conditions are right - MBR and old without UEFI BIOS. But why it is no description, Acronis with GPT support or evidence for the other version, which is on nines standard laptops, the secret of WD remains.

If this is rectified, so the user experience a smooth installation, it is a top product. So it is only enough for 3 stars.
