Yes, it's called ReadyBoost, it acts as a disk cache if memory serves.

I used a Thinkpad T42 for years with Lubuntu. 1.7Ghz single-core CPU, 2 GB
of DDR RAM, 5400 RPM PATA drive, later updated to a PATA SSD. It did
everything I could throw at it except for full-screen video. It was a little
choppy.

Best damn keyboard on a laptop, ever. Best industrial design on a laptop,
IMO. The T4x series were a high-water mark for 4:3 laptops.
