Windows Vista and Hybrid Hard Drives.

A hybrid hard drive is a hard drive that is assisted by flash memory. The flash memory will remember certain bits of data you use most often, so that it can be recalled by the flash memory instead of the slower hard drive. It is like a permanent cache. The upcoming windows operating system Windows Vista, will be able to recognize a flash drive plugged into the computer and temporarily use it to assist a hybrid hard drive even more, giving you an instant performance boost. This would be cool because it would let cheap flash drives improve your computer.
