Does TI 2017 add support for hybrid drives?
Are hybrid drives supported in True Image 2017?

Hybrid drives work just fine. You just can't "clone" to or from them. You have to take a disk backup and restore the backup instead. I would recommend this method over a clone anyway though for the simple fact that you get a backup out of it and can use that as a safety net to return to.

My recollection is that the Seagate/Samsung SSHD work in a different way to the Western Digital Black SSHD, if I recall correctly WD have extended SSHD beyond the Black range and they may use yet another approach.

En réponse à Robert, par truwrikodrorow…

Is there any update on ATI supporting full "drive" backup and restoration of hybrid drives, including using the boot disk to run a full disk restore? If only some models of hybrids are support, is there a list? My qiestions are not about SSDs but Hyrids.

Posters,
Hybrid drives are not supported by the product including TI 2017, 2016, 2015, and Snap Deploy, DD 11 and 12 and the business product line because of the the cache that exists on such drives. You might have success in backup of data from such drives but restoring such data may seem t o work but then you later find that the restored files are not actually on the disk.
This is because of the cache on those drives and how they function. See the KB below for the official statement.
