To curb the still high cost of solid state drives (SSD) but still give people the option to use the ReadyBoost tech in Vista, Samsung will release a 4 GB SSD drive in time for Vista. The drive can be used inconjuntion with an hybrid drive, a readyboost USB flash drive or by itself in conjuction with a traditional HDD. ReadyBoost basically loads OS and commonly used app components as compressed data on faster flash drives to speed up boot and application load times.
No price has been announced yet, though I wouldn't think more than $200 since a 4 GB mp3 player costs about that.
Very cool. It'll be nice to finally have a SSD in the old PC.
