Rocket 620AP HyperDuo mode Enables Truly Cost-Effective SSD Performance 

 

Safe Mode and Capacity Mode: Safe Mode provides optimal data protection by mirroring data from the SSD to the hard disk for maximum resiliency. Capacity Mode augments SSD and HDD capacity for the most cost-effective configuration. 

HyperDuo also offers a graphical user interface (GUI) utility to enable fine-grained control of what files and directories are stored in the SSD. Power users can view file directories that the HyperDuo deems as hot data and decide whether to move it to the SSD or keep the data on the slower hard drive. For novice users, HyperDuo performs automatic background updates to periodically monitor hot file directories, with minimal CPU overhead.
