Description

Hybrid hard drive integrated in CD player

The present invention relates to a hybrid hard disk integrated in an optical disk drive, and more particularly to a hybrid hard disk in which a conventional hard disk and a solid state hard disk are integrated into an optical disk drive.

In recent years, with the advancement of technology and the rapid development of the electronics industry, the demand for information storage has also increased significantly. The existing storage devices are most popular with hard disk drives. However, traditional hard disks must push the magnetic head with very fine mechanisms. With magnetic discs, and under long-term operation and unexpected external impact, the probability of damage to the hard disk is increased. Moreover, the conventional hard disk needs to use a larger power to maintain the operation of the motor and the operation of the circuit. Therefore, traditional hard disks face many problems in application.

Other storage devices, such as flash memory, which is Flash memory, is a germanium elemental crystal memory technology that encapsulates electrons into a transistor called a floating gate and stores it permanently. News. And the flash memory is a combination of EPROM and EEPROM technology, which allows multiple reading and writing in one program operation. Because it can keep the memory data after the power disappears, it is also called non-volatile memory (Non- Volatile). Flash memory has the characteristics of fast access speed and strong shock resistance, which makes it widely used in mobile phones, PDAs, digital cameras and MP3 electronic products with battery as power source. With the increase of capacity and price, fast Flash memory has a tendency to replace traditional hard drives.

In addition, the existing technology also has a combination of traditional hard disk and flash memory storage device, called "hybrid hard disk drive (HHDD)", the hybrid hard disk system combines the tradition The advantages of hard disk and flash memory provide ultra-high power-saving efficiency, shorten boot time, fast access to data, and faster computing speed.

The main object of the present invention is to use a computer device to install a hybrid hard disk in an assembly position of an electronic device, without additionally providing an assembly space that conforms to the hybrid hard disk.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a hybrid hard disk integrated in an optical disk drive, comprising a conventional hard disk, a solid state hard disk, and a compact disk having an accommodation space for setting the conventional hard disk and the solid state hard disk. a casing, wherein the conventional hard disk is provided with a first connection port, and the solid state disk has a circuit board and a plurality of flash memories disposed on the circuit board, and the circuit board is provided with a connection A second connection port of the connection port is coupled to form a hybrid hard disk, and the circuit board is further provided with an external connector and an opening corresponding to the optical disk drive housing.

In this way, when the present invention is applied to a computer device, the optical disk drive housing integrated with the hybrid hard disk can be installed by using the assembly position of the optical disk drive in the computer device, thereby expanding the capacity of the computer device.

Figure 3 is a schematic illustration of a preferred embodiment of the invention.

The detailed description and technical contents of the present invention will now be described with reference to the following figures: Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the present invention is a hybrid hard disk integrated into a CD player (HHDD, hybrid hard disk). Drives, which mainly include a CD player housing 30, and a hard disk drive (HDD) and a solid state drive (SSD) installed in the chassis 30 of the optical disc drive. The conventional hard disk 10 is mainly composed of a disc, and the rotating shaft of the center drives the disc to rotate, and reads the data on the disc through the head (not shown), and the conventional hard disk 10 A first port 11 is provided thereon. The solid state hard disk 20 is provided with a circuit board 21 and a plurality of flash memory 22 disposed on the circuit board 21, and the circuit board 21 is provided with a pair of second ports 23 corresponding to the first port 11 The second port 23 can be connected to the first port 11 to electrically connect the circuit board 21 to the conventional hard disk 10. In addition, the circuit board 21 is further provided with an external connector 24, such as SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment). The connector of the interface can be used to connect the computer device, and the circuit board 21 includes a first section 211 and a second section 212 extending perpendicularly to the first section 211, so that the circuit board 21 can The first segment 211 and the second segment 212 form an "L" shape, and the flash memory 22 is disposed in the first segment 211, and the second port 23 is connected to the external port. The connector 24 is disposed on the second section 212, and the second connector 23 and the external connector 24 are disposed on opposite side edges of the second section 212.

The optical disk drive housing 30 includes a base 31 and an upper cover 32 connected to the base 31. The base 31 and the upper cover 32 form an accommodation space 33 for receiving the conventional hard disk 10 and the solid hard disk 20. And a pair of openings 34 that should be externally connected to the connector 24. When assembling First, the conventional hard disk 10 and the circuit board 21 of the solid state hard disk 20 are connected to the second connection port 23 by the corresponding first connection port 11, and the conventional hard disk 10 and the solid state hard disk 20 are connected. The base 31 of the optical disc drive housing 30 is inserted into the base 31 of the optical disc drive housing 30, and the external connector 24 is aligned with the opening 34 of the optical disc drive housing 30.
