Intel has already made a proposal to reduce the thickness of hard drives case up to 5 mm , such drives could combine reasonable cost and sufficient for ultrabook capacity. The processor giant is ready to push any initiative among partners, but would not reduce prices for their products.
Associate reports that the hard drive manufacturers have sent more resources to develop products with a thickness of 5 mm , although there is still a priority for the segment of hybrid drives. Apparently, we are talking about Seagate.
On the way to further reduce the thickness of drives case are two major obstacles: the stabilization processes read and write data, as well as an increase in the cost of storage due to a decrease in its size. Some experts expect the popularity of hybrid drives in the first quarter next year.
