Oh just google about the hybrid drives. And i just wonder when will it available in Malaysia? Or it has already available here? What bout the price? Hopefully someone will let me know... Thanks!

With little or no info on what technology you are talking about.....

Oh wait. Here's the site..

Wow!
that hybrid hard drive boosts a cache capacity of 128mb and 256mb!?
with such specs i'm sure it's definitely costs a nuclear bomb

i don't think it'll be that expensive. Solid state memory are getting cheaper everyday, just look at those flash drive.

If it can shave 8 to 25 seconds as claimed and cost additional RM100 or so(the report did said "minimal cost" ), i'm all for it. Even ur most expensive C2D can't help much in speeding up boot time. I hate boot time the most. Most CPUs are pretty darn fast nowadays even the low end ones, but the bottleneck is in the hard disk. I'm all for faster boot up time.

hmm.....is created for the new Windows Vista! 2 times faster than normal HD. dunno it uses what type of interface

Yeah it is designed for Windows Vista users. But they're concentrated on laptop/notebook. But i'm pretty sure desktop one will also available soon. Well, i have no idea if i should buy any sata2 hard disk later or just wait for it... Might be a long time huh?

more reason to make smaller PCs

and faster as well?

Sounds good, but when will it arrive here?

It says January 2007 but till now still haven't seen any of them yet

If im not mistaken, it will still run on SATA 2 interface

ya.. for upcoming centrino laptop (Santa Rosa platform).. Can't hardly wait..

i wander hw da western digtal raptors are goin with da new HHD form...if HHD is 2x faster den normal HDD...den...huh...damn fast!!

Sounds good, copying files shall be a hell lot faster.

I'll pay extra 1000 just to remove the loading screen. When is the day that I can load games and application in a blink of an eye?

The day is coming!

ABout Hybrid HD, I think they will not come here so quick. They will surely try to clear their old HD stocks first

yea ur r8 i agree...hmm wait wait...or maybe in da meantime i cud try sellin my hdd's...move on to HHD...since its performance are good...

Grr.. Then maybe i should wait for HDD Drive? Arg. Just wanna invest more hard drive for my upcoming rig. Now then i saw a new samsung 22inch wide screen lcd. Makes me drool over it. Damn. What to buy? Technology crazy.....

ya, iwill get a cheaper CPU and a better hybrid drive too...2007 going to b an exciting year; CPU's price slash here slash there, DX10 mid end card......
