Anand doesn't expect the price to drop significantly this year. Even with
the recent die shrink from Intel/Micron and Samsung they haven't passed
along the savings to consumers yet. Next year we can expect the prices to
finally start to fall more and within 5 years the mechanical hardrive will
be on it's way out. Seagate is coming out with a 3 Gig drive this year..

That one, and the larger, faster, 160GB version, are the only ones I'd
consider buying right now. I've seen a truly shocking number of OCZ

Sandforce
controller in the Vertex 2 and others looks really impressive, being
bitten
by the Indilinx makes me shy away from first designs.
For what it's worth, I have two 80GB Intel G2 units in RAID0 on my home
workstation.
Disclaimer: My sample size is fairly small, with around 45 Vertex
drives and
around 35 Intel G2 drives.
