LG R400 notebook with hybrid hard drive by month end

Samsung_mh80Remember those hybrid hard drives announced last year at WinHEC? These are the drives that include and use flash memory to speed up access and boot times; looks the first of many notebooks to use them are on the way. Laptoping spotted the LG R400 at an on-line Canadian retailer, but the link takes you to a blank product page currently. The R400 incorporates the Samsung MH80 hard drive that includes 128- or 256-MB of flash memory integrated with the drive. Gizmodo recently covered this news bit on the R400 and says that we’ll see the notebook around the end of the month. Can’t wait to see how the performance is enhanced, although I suspect it will be similar to what we see with ReadyBoost with the inclusion of a faster bootup.
