Is it true that WD really is lighter and faster than most other AVs?

[QUOTE="brigantes, post: 893156, member: 88084"] WD runs OK on hybrid HDD with a enough dedicated flash memory. WD does not run OK on HDD - which everyone knows what I'm talking about. HDD today is still the same technology as HDD from decades ago. They are a spinning platter. So todays HDD is legacy all the same as 20 year old HDD. Once again, wide spread current use does not make something NOT obsolete or legacy. There is a single advantage to HDDs and that is low cost. That's why HDDs are still around. Primarily for data backup where speed is not a requirement. Production status has nothing to do with the definition of legacy or obsolete. Legacy equates to obsolete in one way or more. HDDs are still in production only because of their low cost. Otherwise there is no advantage to using an HDD and the drive OEMs can only make tiny improvements to the HDD technology year over year. That is why HDD is rated as legacy. Any HDD you buy today is legacy. It is obsolete technology. Spinning platters of any kind are ancient technology. [/QUOTE]
