Boot from flash, save to platters, all in one drive.
By
Samsung, everyone’s favorite rising star in the tech sector is to unveil a hybrid drive at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference next week in Seattle. The primary target of the drives will be for laptops, as the platters can power down while the OS and cache runs off the NAND. No information on pricing or storage capacity has been announced.
The drive uses both NAND flash memory with the standard magnetic storage to allow users to boot up twice as fast.
Primarily designed for laptops, the drives will be less of a drain on batteries and will add an extra 20 to 30 minutes of battery life.
