Hybrid Drive

A hybrid drive is a new type of large-buffer computer hard drive, currently in joint development by Samsung and Microsoft. It is different from standard hard drives in that it employs a large buffer (up to 1 GB) of non-volatile flash memory to cache data during normal use. By primarily using this large buffer for non-volatile data storage, the platters of the hard drive are at rest almost all of the time, instead of constantly spinning as they are in current hard drives. This offers numerous benefits, chief among them decreased power consumption, improved reliability, and a faster boot process.

Hybrid drives are set to be released, primarily for notebook computers, in early 2007, with Samsung introducing their first drives in January, and Seagate in the first three months. At the moment, they are only known to be fully compatible with the upcoming Windows Vista operating system; Microsoft uses the name ReadyDrive to describe the software side of this technology.

The command interface will be standardized in the new revision 8 of the ATA standard.

Seperti yang dijangka sooner computer akan menjadi fully solid-state device. Flash memory secara teori lebih lebih cepat berbanding dengan hard drive (mechanical-part) tetapi kenapa mereka masih lagi stick pada hard drive???

Mungkin tidak lama lagi takde lagi istilah shutdown pada PC dengan muncul hybride drive or readydrive ni computer akan jadi macam PDA just power off masuk standby mode gitu aje kalo hang reset and dlm slpit seocnd aje dah masuk windows perghh..

Mechanical hard drive: HDD 320GB, harga RM350. 350/320 = RM1.10/GB

Solid state memory: Pendrive 4GB, harga RM400. 400/4 = RM100/GB lebih kuranglaa

Sebabnye obvious. Solid state drive 40GB kau sanggup bayar RM4,000? HDD 160GB pon sebulan dua BT dah penuh.

Exactly. So kenelah tunggu sampai murah sket dan technology improved. No such thing as konspirasi Maxtor/WD lol.
