Shooting up in everything from tablets to servers, plain old solid-state drives are getting as mundane as floppy disks were within the ’90s, so it’s about time someone got just a little creative with the soldering iron. OCZ ‘s RevoDrive Hybrid takes a HDD and puts it where it doesn’t belong — on top of an SSD . But unlike that deep fried Oreo you actually don’t have “tasted” on the state fair, this pairing has potential to maintain the juices flowing, caching reads and writes for both drives on a single PCIe card. Shipping in July, the $350 base Hybrid is predicted to incorporate a 500GB HDD and 60GB SSD, with a premium model doubling both capacities (and we assume price). With OCZ out of the memory game , we are hoping to work out the now strictly SSD company bring innovative, affordable flash-based goodies to market, and it seems like we’re off to a good start.
