** Description changed: Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.24 - As far as I'm aware, there's no support for hybrid hard drives (SATA - disk plus non-volatile RAM) under Ubuntu / Linux. Using the non- - volatile RAM could reduce power consumption by increasing time between - spin-ups, and reducing the risk of data loss if the heads are parked - suddenly during vibration. If boot-up files are put on the flash then - booting can be faster and consume less power too (though Ubuntu already - boots pretty fast.) The drive in my laptop is a 160GB Seagate - ST91608220AS with 256 MB flash. + As far as I'm aware, there's no support for the non-volatile RAM cache + on hybrid hard drives (SATA disk plus non-volatile RAM) under Ubuntu / + Linux.
