Flash hard drives for laptop from SanDisk
Yes, the flash drive, which you use as your mobile data storage, will be the main storage for your laptop due to its smaller size and durability. SanDisk has released a 32GB drive for commercial notebooks as a replacement to the conventional hard drives, which are using magnetic platters. This means that there will be no more moving parts on the hard disk and the hard disk will be cooler and more durable.
Some said that flash cards can survive drops from great heights. My personal experience with flash disk drive, it can be washed with machine when it gets dirty and the data is still safe on the disk.
As the technology is very new, the price is still very high. I think that this technology will be cheap in 5 years time. Just look at how cheap a 1 GB USB Flash Drive today compared to the price 2 years ago. Next two years, I will not have a laptop with a background sound of the hard disk.

I have a few old flash drives that just failed. Probably due to the fact that I used to hang them around my neck most of the time. Hope that does not happen to these hard drive replacements.
Which brand did you use? I use kingston and it survived the washing machine!
