This is one of the few technologies that is something to get excited about. Right now if you use a notebook in a car when its driving (as the passanger) the movement of the car will destroy the notebook's harddrive. Havcing a massive solid state drive prevents this issue because the drive is not prone to failiure due to the movement of the car.

Also the drive uses less power and creates less heat. Makeing the notebook battery last longer and mitigates heat damage. Now only if the drive can provide 100MBps + data transfer!
