Remember ReadyDrive?

I remember some time ago in order for a laptop to gain ‘Vista Premium Certified’, it required a hybrid harddrive.  Now, I guess not..  but question still remains.. where are the hybrid harddrives?  It’s been almost 3 years or more since it was mentioned..

I mean, there should be at least one around now.  Samsung and Seagate announced theirs last year.  So where are they?  Does ReadyDrive work just as bad as ReadyBoost?

    I have a laptop with a hybrid drive and vista, it’s a Sony sz650 and ReadyDrive works a treat. It comes out of sleep and hibernate really quickly and generally just seems pretty nippy. I noticed the hard drive powering down quite regularly, but it makes a little clicking noise when it does and this annoyed me a bit so I turned off aggressive power management.

    Very cool.
    I googled the hybrid harddrive mentioned in this review but didn’t find much.
