World First MSI U115 Netbook with Hybrid SSD and Hardisk Together

Yes, you read it right. MSI has come up with a netbook that is capable of running both the SSD (Solid State Drive) and the normal Hardisk. Thanks to their Exclusive Hybrid Storage Technology.

Basically, the netbook has the same specification of the Wind U100 except for two major change: –

• The Intel Processor is now Z530
• The Hybrid Storage Technology
• Super long battery (eco) life

The rest remains unchange. However, as this is not official from MSI, there might be changes in the future.

Back to the New Hybrid Storage Technology. How does it works. I copy from MSI website  🙂

The U115 Hybrid is equipped with MSI’s Exclusive Hybrid Storage Technology; the very first notebook computer in the world that is capable of operating both SSD and HDD hard drives simultaneously, combining all the features of SSD and HDD in the U115 Hybrid for your enjoyment.

The U115 Hybrid functions primarily with the SSD system, offering a reliable, shock-absorbent, and speedy operating environment. You have the option of choosing the SSD system while operating with Windows, and selecting the HDD hard drive for file storage. The SSD system if much faster than HDD when retrieving files and it takes up less power. It is also much more shock-absorbent while riding on the train or the MRT.

Furthermore, because of the MSI Exclusive Hybrid Storage Technology, the U115 Hybrid will temporarily disconnect the HDD system while operating in “ECO on Mode”. Retrieving and storing files will all be done with the SSD system, the battery life of U115 Hybrid is super long.* The HDD system can also be activated with a few simple functions for the large storage space.

The Specification of the MSI U115 is as below. Notice that there are some question marks in the specs, I guess MSI is leaving the option open.
