Samsung has 64 GB solid state drives. Really really expensive. Probably at least 3-4 years before prices become affordable.
from an article
"the 64 GB unit can read 64 MB/S, write 45 MB/s, and consumes just half a Watt when operating (one tenth of a Watt when idle). In comparison, an 80 GB 1.8-inch hard drive reads at 15 MB/s, writes at 7 MB/s, and eats 1.5 Watts either operating or when idle. "
So it reads over 4 times faster and write 6 times faster. That would be nice to have. Not for $1000 though.
