Samsung and Microsoft are close to unveiling a hybrid hard drive that will enable Vista-based laptops and desktop PCs boot much faster than is now the case, The Korea Times has reported.
The drive combines flash memory with standard hard drive technology and is designed to work specifically with Microsoft's forthcoming Windows Vista operating system, the Korean publication reported. The publication said the drive will be introduced at Microsoft's Windows Hardware Engineering Conference, which starts on May 24 in Seattle.
