    Hello,

    Does anyone have these drives?

    Eurocom sell these for their Sky X9C.

    Are these mechanical or SSD drives?

    Hi,

    The reason I'm asking is according to HIDevolution, it is actually a mechanical drive.

    Maybe because its a 2.5" SATA drive instead of a NVMe or mSATA format, hence being in the mechanical drive section.
    That would make sense on where it shows up on their site/configurator.

    Hi,

    Thank you.

    There is 3 variations of this drive. Are all of them SSDs?
