Microsoft adds flash memory to hard drives | |

Microsoft owns the licence for the technology, although Creasey explained that hard disk manufacturers can use the technology free of charge provided they apply it to a Windows system. Microsoft has revealed a hybrid hard disk that includes flash memory to reduce laptop power consumption by a claimed 10 per cent. The power saving is achieved because the flash memory chip reduces the need for the disk to spin. Jack Creasey, senior programme manager for Microsoft's Windows Hardware Innovation Group, told vnunet.com that the technology is aimed at laptops running Longhorn, Microsoft's upcoming version of Windows. | ||
