I'm sure you've all read about this:
http://www.reed-electronics.com/electronicnews/article/CA6285751.html. My
bet is that Intel has something cooking with their "Robson technology"
http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,123053,00.asp for fast boot-up,
which it seems might appear in notebooks first. Since this NAND flash is
limited in size it has to be a semi-permanent cache to the hard disk files
so I'm wondering what they store there and how they decide? I don't see
how they implement it without some specific action programmed into the OS

How exactly is NAND flash supposed to be faster than hard disk? I
understood its bandwidth is less than most hard disks? However, I'm sure
it's latency is much better.

multi channel I/O, kinda like a raid :) perfect solution - fast transfer
and small latency
