Hard disk with 1GB DDR RAM

A Japanese firm called DTS developed a hybrid drive with a twist. Instead of using NAND flash memory, usually 256MB, it opted for 1GB of DDR Ram for the cache of its MCell drives. DTS markets the disc as being a significantly cheaper way to get some of the benefits of solid state drives without the price.

Considering that many 7200rpm SATA hard drives have sustained transfer rates on the order of 60MBps, the MCell can easily outperform it with its 110MBps in random read tests for data sizes of 64KB to 512MB.

The drive will initially be available in 80GB, 120GB, and 160GB sizes, with the 80GB model selling for ¥15,800 ($136.15).

considering... ok nga to... kasi dahil sa kamahalang ng flash memory... pero i think in the long run, mas ok pa rin ang flash dahil nagmumura na ito at less ang moving pieces na nagcause ng mga physical na bad sector...

Anyway, thanks for the info... pero mahal pa rin a...

mahal nga pero cguro after 3 years mas mgiging mura na yan....:thumbsup:
