Hybrid HDD-Specific Tests

Windows Vista Bootup Time

There is a clear advantage in Windows Vista bootup time with the H-HDD. Our test system - an Acer Ferrari 1000 subnotebook with Turion 64 X2 processor and 2 GB RAM - took almost 33 seconds to boot to Windows Vista's password prompt, but the same system with Samsung's H-HDD only required approximately 24 seconds. This difference is noticeable.
