Hybrid hard drives are more marketed toward the power savings benefits while Robson is more marketed toward the speed benefits (specifically boot up time) hence Turbo Memory. I see them more as complementary rather than direct competitors. That said, the 'dumbness' of hybrid hard drives probably makes it easier to implement.

Review: Tube Stick Hybrid For Macbook Pro

My understanding of hybrid drives and Robson Tech is that they aren't exactly the same thing. I think Robson Tech is more targetted to catching OS and system related files to speed things like boot up. The flash memory in HHDs seem like just another level of cache between the hard drive's RAM cache and the platters themselves and will store more general data.

I see them more as complementary rather than direct competitors. That said, the 'dumbness' of hybrid hard drives probably makes it easier to implement. It's probably only a matter of knowing to look in the flash cache instead of the platters themselves and maybe optimizing I/O functions to best fit into the size of a HHD's flash cache once detected. I would think that Leopard supports both HHDs and Turbo Memory, but Jobs is probably waiting to announce it simulataneously with an appropriate hardware update, like a future MacBook Pro, rather than with Leopard itself.

The benefits are more felt in battery life and performance than seen, so it would make sense for Jobs to wait for the hardware, since HHDs aren't exactly common right now. By my understanding, HHDs and Robson/Turbo Memory are almost exactly the same. The only real difference is where the flash memory is located. In HHDs it's in the hard drive unit, and accessed over the SATA bus. In Turbo Memory, it's in a PCIe card. In both cases the OS controls how the flash is used, and it can cache whatever it wants there.

Intel prefers the PCIe approach because they don't make hard drives. The hard drive makers prefer HHDs for obvious reasons. Using them together wouldn't get you any benefit other than the larger amount of cache space.

After released its fourth generation, it took the wraps off of its latest product, a clever dock and MFi Lightning cable hybrid called. While ElevationDock4 was a fantastic iteration on the company’s popular docks, brings a whole new approach to charging, docking, and effortlessly using your iPhone. It really provides an awesome experience at a. Specs/Highlights.

Combines the benefits of a cord, with the benefits of a dock, in one ultra-compact design. Directions: Pull up to undock one-handed like normal. Or rotate forward to take the cord with you!. Tiny footprint – it’s the smallest dock for iPhone. Adjusts to fit cases up to 4mm thick (that’s most cases except Otterbox). Minimal matte finish. Machined stainless steel & reinforced polymer construction.

The NanoPad bottom locks to smooth surfaces with micro air-suction (not adhesive). Apple MFi certified with an Apple-made connector. Charges 2-3x faster than Qi wireless & you can freely pick up your iPhone while charging. CordDock was years of engineering, prototyping, and testing to work well and be durable. Patent pending. If you like it as much as we do, there’s a shot it could be your favorite accessory for iPhone.

Materials & Build consists of a matte polymer and machined stainless steel. It offers a durable, premium braided MFi 6-foot Lightning cable with a 90-degree elbow on the Lightning end. This is what makes it so easy to dock and undock your iPhone while charging/syncing. While brought the first one-handed undocking, offers the same great benefit. A nanopad on the underside keeps the dock firmly in place and provides the useful one-handed functionality. Keep in mind though that the nano pad won’t adhere to bare or fibrous wood or other highly textured surfaces. To no surprise, CordDock is a really well made product.

From the braided MFi cable to the satisfying click of docking and undocking your iPhone, it feels great to use and will no doubt last a really long time. In the box you get the dock with included MFi Lightning cable, and a secondary set of magnetic baseplates (more on that in a moment). ElevationLab offers a 30-day return period along with a 1-year warranty for its products. Use & Feel After unpacking the super slim CordDock, my first concern was how well it would support my iPhone X, especially when in use with things like 3D Touch and long presses. Impressively, between the nanopad bottom and threaded, adjustable backpads, it feels just as solid as (which is really solid 👌🏼). Once you get used to one-handed undocking, you can’t really go back, it’s such a smooth experience. It’s really great to see the major features of make their way to.

CordDock on the left, ElevationDock 4 on the right While I thought ElevationDock 4 had a clean and minimal design, CordDock takes things up another notch. You hardly notice anything but your iPhone when in use. It almost gives a floating iPhone appearance.

The braided Lightning cable has a velcro cable tie for when you’re taking your CordDock on the go. The company even threw in an extra foot of length on CordDock with the built-in 6-foot Lightning cable. Another concern when I first started using CordDock was how it would handle different cases. However, with the flexible backpads and two different size sets of baseplates, it accommodates everything from a naked iPhone, Apple’s silicone or leather cases up to even something like my. ElevationLab notes that CordDock will work with cases up to 4mm thick.
