HyDrive seeing weak demand in notebook industry
HyDrive, an optical drive model that features a built-in solid state drive and was launched by Hitachi LG Data Storage as well as Toshiba-Samsung Storage Technology, is seeing weak demand from the notebook industry since notebook brands currently are still unable to find a benefit for adopting such device into their machines.
Taiwan-based notebook makers Quanta Computer and Wistron both saw their revenues and notebook shipments drop on month in July due to their downstream clients reducing orders for July as back-to-school demand in the US and Europe being weaker than expected.
