Lenovo Offering Hard Drive/Solid State Drive Hybrid

"You know, making that jump from HDD to SSD still costs an arm and a leg, so how about somewhere in between that gap? That's what Lenovo's offering as an option for the IdeaPad Y460 and Y560 coming in March. The idea with this RapidDrive technology is that you can have a 32GB or 64GB PCI-E SSD installed alongside your regular HDD (up to 500GB option), and the two drives will effectively be combined into one."

I was just complaining about the cost of SSDs today on Twitter, so this news is welcome - assuming that it's something that other manufacturers do with their laptops and it's not some sort of Lenovo exclusive. Let's hope we see this technology everywhere in 2010!
