In his latest review, Les Tokar offers readers his first impressions of MyDigitalSSD's Super Cache 2 (SC2) in a new SATA III (6G) M.2 NGFF form factor. While not initially thrilled on the notion of a cache drive, Les runs the SC2 through a number of tests with and without FNet HybriDisk caching software, and finds MyDigitalSSD's combination of capacity, performance, and value worthy of The SSD Review's Editor’s Choice Award.

Here are some snippets from the article:

"Our expected report of the MyDigitalSSD Super Cache 2 M.2 SSD brought forward possibilities that even we never expected. Quite frankly, enabling a dual installation (as we will discuss in the report) may have altered my thoughts on SSD caching just a bit, although not too much I can promise you."

"Perhaps the most interesting thing about MyDigitalSSD Super Cache 2 SSDs though is that they include a free copy of FNet’s HybriDisk Caching solution. [...] Something very special about HybriDisk, however, is the ability to control the size of the cache, enabling the remainder of the SSD as a logical drive, displaying pure SSD performance."

"By comparing the benchmarks of the SSD alone above to that of the hard drive when cached with that SSD below, we can see that HybriDisk has accomplished what only Dataplex had done prior, almost equaling the SSD performance in HDD caching."

"Quite frankly, it is an amazing solution for anyone with a M.2 SSD contained laptop. Performance… Capacity… Value…"

"All in all, MyDigitalSSD did a great job thinking this solution out and we are going to award the MyDigitalSSD M.2 Super Cache 2 SSD the Editor’s Choice, not only because we have achieved capacity, performance and value in this M.2 SSD package but also, MyDigitalSSD is one of the first to market the M.2 SSD. We loved the ability to custom fit our SSD partition needs with this caching solution."

"MyDigitalSSD Super Cache 2 is a no-brainer when it comes to thinking about upgrading your cached notebook. In addition, software flexibility allows the installation of the OS on the SSD with a portion allotted to HDD caching. Excellent!"
