Title: Marketing alliance around hybrid hard drives
Description: Hitachi, Samsung, Seagate and Toshiba announced during the Storage Visions Conference held in Las Vegas the creation of the Hybrid Storage Alliance which will promote the use of hybrid hard drives in laptop computers in particular.

The main benefits of these hard drives are: lower power consumption, higher performances but also better reliability, longer life and easier integration. Microsoft has already given its support to this initiative and reminded everyone that Windows Vista was fully compatible with hybrid hard drives.

IDC short and middle term previsions saying that 35% of laptops in 2010 will be equipped with hybrid hard drives, show that the price gap compared to standard hard drives will continue to exist. On the longer term, the lower power consumption could also incite some of the manufacturers to use cheaper batteries rather than increasing laptop autonomies as we have seen with the release of other components requiring less energy.
