Hybrid Optical Drive gets SSD

After the Hybrid Hard drive (mixing SSD with a regular HD) I guess it was just a matter of time until someone though of doing the same thing with an optical drive.

The Hitachi-LG HyDrive will take combos to the next level, combining an optical drive with an SSD. Meaning your laptop/netbook will be able to carry more stuff... in a lot less space!

Even if they just use extra space for a larger battery, imagine what that would do to enhance your device's battery life.

Count me in!

The HyDrive will be available with 32 and 64GB SSDs, and growing up to 256GB as costs drop down.
