Lenovo's Matt Kohut says the Raleigh, N.C.-based PC maker has been looking at hybrid hard drive technology -- which combines flash with HDD -- and yawns out this blog entry:
We at Lenovo have been testing these drives and determining whether it is the right technology that we want to offer on our notebooks in the future. Frankly, we're underwhelmed at the performance we're seeing from first generation flash-assisted technology, both in battery life gains and in performance gains.
Kohut suggests that the promise of the ReadyDrive technology from the forthcoming Microsoft Vista operating system may not be reached soon, and said the company also finds shortfalls with Intel's competing Robson technology.
