The SSD manufacturers believe, innovation can improve the competitiveness of the SSD exceeds HDD. One of the major manufacturers of SSDs at SanDisk Corp., the world is. In order to demolish HDDs, SanDisk SSD released a new generation called iSSD (integrated solid state drive). iSSD is special because SSDs are smaller than postage stamps and weighs lighter than a paper clip. And during this SSD HDD size is equal to 2.5 inches in diameter and 3.5 inches. With iSSD, the dimensions are very small and very light weight, manufacturers can build a tablet computer or notebook that more small and too light rather than the traditional tablet or notebook.
Although small and lightweight, SanDisk asserts, iSSD have sufficient capacity to meet the computing needs of large tablets and notebooks. Because, SanDisk explained, iSSD first generation has a capacity of 64 GB. SSD is not only a most small and lightweight in the world, SanDisk asserts, iSSD also the most high-performance SSDs in the world. Because iSSD able to read at speeds up to 160 MBps (megabytes per second) and write with a maximum speed of 100 Mbps.
However, the HDD manufacturer did not stand watching the development of SSD technology. Evidently, one of the largest HDD producers in the world, namely Seagate Technology Inc., offers also a new generation of HDDs. Seagate products are a hybrid drive. Drive is called hybrid because it uses a mixture of technology, namely the HDD and SSD. Named XT Momentus, Seagate's hybrid drive is actually the HDD. But to increase the speed, it is integrated with the SSD HDD. Seagate explains, XT built Momentus HDD-based 2.5-inch diameter-speed 7200 rpm (rotations per minute). Capacity is available, there are three options, namely 250 GB, 320 GB and 500 GB. To increase speed, HDD capacity was combined with 4 GB SSD.
With the support of SSD, Momentus XT can deliver speeds 80 percent higher than 7200 rpm HDD to another. The most obvious benefit to the user, a notebook using the XT Momentus HDD can boot faster than traditional notebooks that use the HDD.
"We see, Momentus XT is a game changer. Therefore, a combination of HDD and SSD in XT makes Momentus notebook users no longer have to sacrifice a big cost to achieve high speed and large capacity," said Executive Vice President of Seagate Technology Inc. Dave Mosley.
Research firm International Data Corp. (IDC) rate, hybrid drives are the solution for computer users who crave high-performance drives and large capacity but low-cost, aka cheaper than SSD.
"Seagate's Momentus XT is the first storage medium for notebooks that enhance the capacity and performance standards of low-cost," said Hard Disk Drives Research Director, IDC John Rydning. In the world, the first computer manufacturer to adopt Momentus XT is the fifth largest computer manufacturer in the world ASUSTeK Computer Inc.. Asus plant Momentus XT into a special notebook game called Republic of Gamers (ROG) G73Jh.
Based on the specification, ROG G73Jh is very high-performance notebooks. Because, ROG G73Jh dipersenjataai four core processors Core i7 computing Quad-Core Intel Corp. production, DDDR3 memory capacity 8 GB, and ATI Radeon Mobility graphics processor HD 5870 production of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Inc.. With the support Momentus XT, ROG G73Jh able to provide higher performance than when the notebook had to use a traditional HDD. With the support Momentus XT also, ROG G73Jh can be marketed at a price much cheaper than when the notebook had to use pure SSD.
"With Momentus XT, Asus is able to present a balance of speed and capacity on high-performance notebook ROG G73Jh. Innovation Seagate is able to deliver equivalent performance of SSDs on the HDD so that high-performance computing can be enjoyed by a wider audience because the price becomes more affordable," said Vice President of ASUSTeK Computer Wang PC Inc.
