Rating: 2 Hopefully the chips themselves won't take up too much
space so you'll be able to stick something like a 1.8" HDD for
other storage purposes.  The only thing that really needs to be
on flash anyway is the OS itself and program files. Everything
else is too sparsely accessed anyway.  Something like a real
hybrid hard-drive would bring prices down a bit until they can
make completely flash based HDDs affordable.  Of course, when it
gets to the point where we can stream data from some kind of
home server (and WiFi is nearly everywhere), then it won't
really matter how much HDD space we have anymore! But that's a
LONG time away if you live in the US (probably right now in
Japan/South Korea though).  Related Articles
