Actually a Memoright flash drive achieves throughput of 125mb a second average while a 300gb Velociraptor only achieves a 102 mb average dropping to 65mb a second which is the target a developer would have to code for, so by the time the next generation rolls around we will have flash drives in the 2.5inch/1.8inch console range that are between 3-5 times faster than the notebook style HDD's they replace.
Furthermore by the time the next generation rolls around the 32nm process would have become comodity and therefore it would reduce the cost of each GB to 1/4 what it is today at least. So a 10gb size flash drive would cost very little by that time and could be easily integrated into the console.
Tease.
