SSD cache hybrid hard drive will be popular in Ultrabook

According to Taiwan’s “Electronic Times”, citing sources from various manufacturers of Ultrabook, hybrid hybrid hard drives that use small-capacity SSDs as mechanical hard disk caches will become popular choices for Ultrabook in the future.

If pure SSD is used as a single storage, the cost will account for about 10% of the entire Ultrabook. In order to meet the promotion goals of Intel, the use experience of Ultrabook is kept at the same level as the original level (start time is about 10-30s, and the thickness of hard disk is less than the standard 9.5mm). All manufacturers have already turned their attention to the hybrid hard disk. Cutting-edge storage solutions.

Among them, Acer (Acer) has adopted hybrid hard disks in some models of the already listed Aspire S3 Hummingbird series: 20GB SSD is used as the cache, and 320GB mechanical hard disk is the main storage. Although most of the other Ultrabook models in the early days still use single SSDs, it is expected that Ultrabooks, which will be listed on a large scale, will adopt hybrid HDDs in batches in order to reduce prices and facilitate marketing.
