Both have their advantages and disadvantages.  SSD is more reliable, faster, and consumes less power, while hybrids are cheaper and  offer more storage.  At the moment, only 32GB and 64GB SSDs are in the works, at prices nearing a thousand dollars for the smaller.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[F1ghter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 7th 2007 8:10AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung's Hybrid Hard Drive (HHD) released to OEMs]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/07/samsungs-hybrid-hard-drive-hhd-released-to-oems/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/07/samsungs-hybrid-hard-drive-hhd-released-to-oems/</guid><description><![CDATA[Sweet.

Other OS's will not work with these drives unless they implement these commands.<br><br>Yes, reducing the power consumption of of a drive is a small portion of the overall platform power, the fact that a workload can finish sooner when reading/writing to/from faster memory (NAND in this case) allows the entire system to be idle longer, thus saving substantially more than just disk power.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[orskier]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 7th 2007 6:39PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
