Re: The new SSD Thread (Benchmarks, Brands, News and Advice)
My dream is SSD's become so good of a price/GB deal that the 1.8 drive becomes the new laptop standard. I would love 15in laptops with 2 bays and 17in laptops with 3-4 bays as the standard
If we're dreaming that is...I am Vengeance, I am the Night, I am BATMAN!

Re: The new SSD Thread (Benchmarks, Brands, News and Advice)
Well here's a little speculation...

When Intel first entered the SSD game, they predicted that they would drop their prices about 50% in 2009 and another 50% in 2010.
So the X25-m was released in Sept 2008 at $600 and was dropped to $390 in Feb 2009. They then dropped the price again in April to $320. So we have already seen about a 50% reduction in price compared to when it was first released.
But since I'm speculating...if we can take the early 2009 price as the starting point ($390), then maybe we can expect that price to be half that - $195 - by the end of 2009 and the upcoming price cut to bring us to about $250. This would be competitively priced with the competing drives but with 20GB more capacity and superior performance.
So that's my prediction...X25-M in 2 weeks for $250. Unfortunately this is still not cheap enough for me...

The smile wasn't loading!! THE SMILE WASN'T LOADING!! I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND!!!

maybe i was just tired and haven't seen it?
no, must have been the webs fault!
the only problem i'd have with the 320gb: i can settle for 160gb easily, but, you know.. having the option.. would make it hard for me to get the 160gb version only
