It's a little late for the Vista launch, but Samsung Electronics still aims to take advantage of the new Microsoft operating system. On Wednesday it announced that it has begun shipping its long-awaited hybrid flash/hard drive to computer and other equipment makers.
The 2.5-inch drive features up to 160 Gbytes in hard disk technology combined with as much as 256 Mbytes of flash memory. Samsung has worked with Microsoft since 2003 to develop the hybrid drive to save power consumption and cut boot time for the software firm's new operating system.
