Hurd, who spent 25 years at ATM maker NCR Corp. before coming to HP in April 2005, became a Wall Street darling. HP's market value nearly doubled during his five years. HP's stock fell nearly 10 percent to $41.85 in after-hours trading Friday, when the news was released.

02/05: Laptops without a Hard Drive
We have been constantly posting news about new solid state drives. In other words, digital storage devices that do not operate with a platter that spins at thousands of turns per second. What is the main purpose for this development? Providing a tremendous boost in battery economy is exactly the point.Manufacturers have clearly determined what the main problem with laptops is. If in earlier times quick obsolescence and high prices seemed to be the greatest issue, nowadays, due to the high interactivity and mobility of today’s work environments, the true issue is the life of the battery once it is not plugged to the charger.
This problem might have been greatly solved by the introduction of these new solid state drives, known in the industry as SSD. These, as we have commented in the past, work with memories similar to those inside pendrives.
SSDs use up to 300% less energy, are more resistant to vibrations, are more silent and even quicker (they increase startup speed by 35% and that of reading and writing of data in up to 25%)… but of course, they are mucho more expensive.
Dell has been one of the first companies to take the leap into this kind of technology. This week it announced that two of its portable computers will be sold with the alternative of upgrading to a 32GB solid state drive. This drive has a much smaller storage capacity than the rest of its models (60 to 120 GB) and also an additional cost of USD552.
Hybrid alternatives are already available for home users. There is a hard drive that holds a great tank for traditional storage of information and a small flash memory for the rest of the operations (up to 1GB). This memory in non volatile, the same way as it is in pendrives, so, in other words, the information is not lost when the power supply is suddenly cutoff.
Windows Vista, thanks to a technology known as Ready Drive, comes enabled to work with this kind of devices and with its R55, Samsung is the first manufacturer to launch a hybrid unit. A 15.4’ screen computer that will come with an 80GB hard drive with a 256 MB flash memory. According to its manufacturers consumption will decrease in 35% while the durability of the drive will increase in 10%.
On the other hand, LG also has its own version. Improving reading speed by 26% and that of writing by 71% if data blocks of less than 10MB are used. It is important to highlight that that the performance of hybrid memory units and solid state drives compared to that of traditional hard drives will vary according to the size of the data. Their efficiency increases the smaller the files are.
These hybrid devices share the same issue as an SSD. They are expensive. Not as expensive as an SSD, but their price is significantly higher than that of traditional drives. Additionally, their consumption loss margins and their reading and writing speed see themselves drastically reduced when you work with big sized files.
According to the looks of it, we can once again say that “not everything that shines is gold”.
