Hard drives are slow, but SSDs are expensive.
TerraMaster hopes to solve the problem with an “industry first” hybrid drive enclosure.
TerraMaster’s D5 Hybrid isn’t a NAS machine.

It’s a direct-attached storage solution, meaning that it plugs directly into your machine.
it’s possible for you to find plenty of generic drive enclosures on Amazon.
But the D5 Hybrid is notable because it combines SATA and M.2 NVMe storage.

you might configure the two SATA drive bays withRAID 1 redundancy.
The M.2 NVMe drive bays are locked to a Single Disk configuration.
Substituting the HDDs for SATA SSDs gives you a 960 MBps transfer rate in RAID 0.
This “hybrid” approach tohot and colddata storage is very compelling, especially for creatives and professionals.
Those who only care about HDDs should look intoRAID enclosures, which facilitate long-term storage and data redundancy.
