Aside from Intel the only other SSD's that I would be interested in are the Sandforce based SSD's.
As good as they are, they are too rich for my blood. However, if my Raptor dies, then I may seriously consider getting a SSD drive, but nothing less than 120GB. -----Original Message----- From: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com [mailto:hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Scoobydo Sent: Saturday, May 22, 2010 2:01 PM To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] Greg what do you think of this SSD? 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..
