Robson or hybrid hard drive? The battle is coming

not hardly: They are talking about using flash ram:

"Samsung's hybrid drives, which work with Microsoft's Vista, will come in a variety of capacities when they appear in computers next year. The drives, though, will contain either 128MB or 256MB of Samsung's OneNAND flash memory. OneNAND is much faster than typical NAND memory."

They are NOT talking about "ordinary ram" which is volatile and would lose it's contents when the power supply was cut due to the memory cells not being refreshed.; Posted by: jacec Posted on: 10/03/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
