Need a hybrid drive?

Hmmm, but what is a hybrid drive? That is a new kind of hard disk - one part is like a usually hard disk and the second part (the new one) is a flash memory. The flash memory should buffer the data during normal use. And if the PC go to the sleep mode the data will be stored there and after the weak up the PC should go to the normal state much faster. OK that is what the manufacturer promise to you but is that really true?
I tested it here yesterday. In fact there is not much difference to a normal hard disk but the price!
Even the weak up after a sleep mode I can´t see any acceleration. I think the problem is the too small flash memory. Because if you have 1-2GB of RAM and only a 256-512MB flash memory in that disk that is really to small! I guess a 4GB or more flash memory would fix the problem. So we have to wait for the next generation of such hybrid drives.
