Sooner than later your hard disk drive will be replaced by solid state memories, SanDisk is looking to replace hard drive in your laptop with a 1.8-inch solid state 32GB flash drive. The company says its cool-running SSD Ultra ATA 5000 1.8" drive is a drop-in replacement for those old-fashioned mechanical hard disks. It packs the performance, too, with a 62MB-per-second read speed while using less than half the battery power of conventional discs.
It is 100 times faster than most hard disks, letting the thing boot Microsoft Windows Vista in 35 seconds. It's much smaller than the 2.5-inch 32GB flash drive Samsung introduced last March, but it's still rather pricey, adding around $600 to a laptop in which it resides.
