Hitachi LG Develops Blu-ray Drive With Built-in SSD



June 04, 2010

PC World: Hitachi LG Data Storage Korea present first-of-its-kind product at Computex, a Blu-ray Disc optical drive that combines a solid-state drive.

"A solid-state drive is made from flash memory chips and can deliver an overall boost in performance compared to a hard-disk drive. But flash memory chips are expensive so SSDs typically have a lower capacity than HDDs. The SSD in the new drive has a capacity of 32GB."

"LG Hitachi expects the drive, which it calls the "Hy Drive," will be used in laptop computers alongside a traditional hard-disk drive in a laptop, said Philip Cho, senior manager of the company's overseas sales team, at the Computex trade show in Taipei."
