Sandisk's Vaulter Disk

From the Sandisk website -




Vaulter Disk is a flash-based, standard-sized mini PCIe module connected unobtrusively to the PCI Express interface inside your PC. Vaulter Disk optimizes high-capacity consumer PCs by dividing storage functionality between itself and the hard disk drive. Taking advantage of the best, native characteristics of flash and of the hard disk drive (HDD), Vaulter Disk consistently boosts overall user responsiveness while enabling users to enjoy high disk capacity at a low cost per gigabyte.

While the Sandisk Vaulter Disk isn't out yet and will most probably take a while before becoming available, it is just one of various mini PCIe-based products those Asus Eee PC units without the mini PCIe connector can't use.
