you don't understand, obviously. Just any flash memory won't do, they're not just attaching a 256 MB thumbdrive to the hard drive and calling it a day, they're using very quick flash memory that will drastically speed up applications, and allow the hard drive to shut down so that the computer runs entirely off flash and RAM.

After saying that, I don't see much of a future in hybrid hard drives. I think flash memory will come down in price soon enough that we will just toss an old hard drive for a same size, same interface flash storage device.

Hybrid drives are a step in the right direction.
