  2. Windows Longhorn DRAM ATA Controller Motherboard 64-128MB NV Cache Hard Disk Controller Hybrid Hard Drive – Key Values • Power Savings (90% Less) • Write buffer during normaloperation – 90% power reduction • Improved Reliability (tbd) • Duty cycle on platters near zero • HDD in non-operational mode • Fast Boot (5+ seconds faster) • Shutdown/Suspend: keyfiles written to flash cache • Power: files available 3-5 seconds before HDD • Realized performance is highlydependent on the flash used 2.5” HDD

  3. Read disk & process STALL Future with HDD Desktop Active Future with HHD Read disk & process CACHE Desktop Active Depending on type of flash chosen: 2 – 6 seconds Resume – Today and Tomorrow Disk Power Disk Ready BIOS POST Read disk & process Today Desktop Active

  6. Conclusions • Hybrid Hard Drive has Three Values • Power Savings due to write cache • Reliability enhancement due to lower duty cycle • Fast boot/resume due to data pinned to flash cache • Write caching does not challenge flash performance • Various solution provide similar results • Fast boot / suspend requires fast flash • OneNAND provides 3-10 s of savings vs. competingsolutions • OneNAND is the logical choice for Hybrid Hard Drive
