SSD Prices Starting to Descend From the Heavens

Says it all: http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/s...eaper-options/

Like the company's earlier "world's thinnest" 256GB drive, the three new models are external units, and you're looking at capacities of 30GB, 60GB, and 120GB for $299, $449, and $699, respectively. That's actually not all that bad, considering a bare 64GB SLC SSD can run an easy grand.

I know some of you are rabid about SSD drives, but most of us are holding out hope that the prices will be reasonable. Looks like that might be sooner than later.

Mind ya, the less expensive drives are 120MB/s read and 40MB/s write, while the pricier drives up the write speed to 70MB/s. (Source: Super Talent's press release, linked in the Engadget article.)

OH hell yea... I can see buying something like this. Not nearly as bad on the wallet.

Yeah, my next box will most likely have at least a Solid State Boot Drive, if not more. :9
