Samsung launched a hybrid hard drive for Windows Vista

Along with the Windows Vista operating system eyes, computer hardware manufacturers are also rushing to launch new products to meet the outstanding hardware requirements of this operating system.

Not out of that trend, as well as being aware of the development of the current computer usage trend, besides the 750GB, 1000GB high capacity hard drives, Samsung has just launched a drive prototype. Hard can improve system performance and extend battery life of notebooks.

The working principle of hybrid drives with flash memory serves as a buffer.

Hard disks for portable devices such as laptops need to have some special features, which are energy saving and able to withstand strong impact. These requirements are especially important for laptops, in addition, it depends on the needs of users such as fast boot times and high data stability.

The drive is called a hybrid hard disk drive because it has both storage space with flash memory and regular disk storage. Flash memory acts as a storage buffer, storing data until it is completely filled into a magnetic disk. Therefore, it will reduce the number of times the disk must be active (usually every 10 or 20 minutes the drive will spin for a few seconds). Samsung estimates that it will increase laptop battery life by 8 to 10% thanks to this hybrid hard drive.

This new hybrid drive also increases performance because PC read data stored in the buffer is much faster than reading from the hard disk. Boot your computer with a hybrid drive faster with a hard drive from 8 to 25 seconds.

With three strengths: one is to minimize the boot time and increase the storage capacity, the other is to consume less power, the three are durable and reliable - very important properties for laptops and drives Hybrid is a very significant development for the attention of laptop manufacturers.

With features specific to the Windows Vista operating system, hopefully the emergence of hybrid drives will be an interesting innovation as a companion to Windows Vista.
