First Hybrid Hard Drives Surface

Tuesday, 24 October 2006 07:01

It doesn't look like much, but the picture above is of a Samsung Hybrid Hard Drive (HHD). This Samsung drive and others by companies like Seagate are expected to launch at the beginning of next year, about the same time Windows Vista is released.

HHDs are capable of using Windows Vista's SuperFetch feature to load commonly accessed data on flash memory built into the drive. This way, you don't have to access the drive itself as often, which leads to faster access times, less power consumption, longer battery life, and less heat, noise, and vibration. Does it get any better? (I guess a completely solid-state disk is better.)
