Toshiba aims to slash Ultrabook prices with new hybrid hard drives

Toshiba said Tuesday it will soon begin mass production of a new line of hybrid disk drives equipped with flash memory, touting them as a low-cost replacement for the solid-state drives used in Ultrabook and laptop computers.

Hybrid drives are touted as a way to achieve the high boot and start-up speeds of SSD while keeping costs down, but have been slow to catch on. With manufacturers eager to slash prices on Ultrabooks they could finally take off: the SSD in such devices currently accounts for about 25 percent of the total price, according to market estimates.
