While solid state drives are very well suited for netbooks from a power efficiency viewpoint, they pose problems when it comes to capacity (and performance, but that's another matter). In order to combat this issue, MSI has launched a new netbook with a hybrid approach to storage: it has a solid state drive for the operating system and applications, and a conventional hard drive for storage.

While we're reminiscing (sorry to get slightly off-topic), I didn't get this drive-- my dad did, back in the 80's... I'm not sure of the price, but I think he paid $1,000 for a 1 GB SCSI hard drive that was the size and thickness of... maybe one of HP's micro towers they're selling these days. It even had its own cooling fan. All for a black-and-white screened Macintosh Plus. Ah, how I miss playing Arkanoid on that beast.
