yeah, awesome! I don't even use more than 250 Gig drives, so having more in Solid State would be pretty cool. I would be happy with an 80 Gig Solid State drive.

Wow, 1270 quid for a drive is pretty steep, even if it is an SSD. |

nah, but nice to know capacities are getting high. when prices are competitive with today's drives, then I'll be getting one.

They'll sell at that price when used in some specialised commercial purpose. It's cheap compared to how much cutting edge hardware used to cost in the 1980s. I worked on a system for data archiving, using the first writeable optical drives. The drives alone cost about $5000 each, and we had no trouble finding customers! |

It's MLC though, rather than SLC, which means it's not robust enough for enterprise use. Otherwise it might have been interesting for some database style loads.

![]() I really see no use for SSD's other than for the OS & programs you load on it. As for everything else I'd use good ole HD disks (1-2Tbs each) for storage, games, movies, music, pics etc.... So really all you need is a good 30-60Gb SSD HD. ![]() At least this is the way I see it... Newegg usually has very good prices on the latest Tech, but $1,439.00 is way too much money regardless of how fast it is!!! ![]()

There are definitely a few scenarios that benefit from SSD. However, they generally tend to involve operations that make a lot of seeks, like database operations for example. They also tend not to be consumer focused stuff. Additionally, ruggedised devices tend to last longer running from flash than from rotating media. Beyond that, I guess it's people with a lot of money to spend!
