Let's take that iSCSI disk drive. Every time a vendor tries to convince me they are actually shipping a real iSCSI disk drive, I chuckle, depending how much the salesperson believes what they are saying or has been programmed to say.
Just to make sure, I recently checked the websites of the main disk drive manufactures (Seagate, Western Digital, Fujitsu, HGST, and Samsung) and found no sign of the infamous iSCSI disk drive.
But rest assured there are plenty of good iSCSI storage solutions in the marketplace.
That said, Im not convinced that a gigabit Ethernet port with a processor that runs an iSCSI target attached to a 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA drive qualifies as a hybrid drive anymore than a USB port and bridge card attached to an ATA or SATA disk drive so qualifies.
Given that it is the holiday season, let's let the hybrid iSCSI disk drive slide for now same with USB disk drives. However, ask yourself, Are the multi-purpose "thumb drive" devices that function as FM/XFM receiver, flashlight, MP3 player, and encryptor really hybrids?
