The Benefits of Hybrid Drives

feminazi writes "Flash memory is being integrated with the hard disk by Seagate and Samsung and onto the motherboard by Intel. Potential benefits: faster read/write performance; fewer crashes; improved battery life; faster boot time; lower heat generation; decreased energy-consumption. Vista's ReadyDrive will use the hybrid system first for laptops and probably for desktops down the road. The heat and power issues may also make it attractive in server environments."

    Why isn't the UN "shocked" at decades of unprovoked and intentional Islamic aggression against Israeli civilians? Why isn't the UN "shocked" at how Islamofacist pigs respond to Israel's concessions and withdrawls with paper promises? By unconditional ceasefire, what the Europussies and Islamopussies mean is a ceasefire from Israel while Hezbolla and Hamas continue to snipe at them with wildly inaccurate rockets with the sole intent of killing as many Israeli civilians as possible. Fuck Islam, and fuck Mohammed.
