Seems like a good deal if you need a 1/2TB SSD. With my needs, I can get away with around 180GB. That lets me fit my work related stuff as well as a few movies for carrying around. Anything else can stay on redundant spinning media that does not need the fast access or portability.
i remember reading like 10+ years ago some scientists developed a way to manufacture organic transistors on the cheap.. They cultivated some kind of micro-bacteria and the "shell' they leave behind can be easily fabricated into fully functional transistors on a much smaller scale than what we can achieve with silicone. What ever happened to that?
I can't wait for these SSD's to drop in price. They already have, but not nearly enough.
by this time next year 512GB will be half this price and 1TB will be this price hopefully.
nice price and nice drive but still alittle much
^ yep, im still holding off for 6 mos. to a year.
Looks like all of you (#1, 2, 3, and 4) don't need it now.
yeah these f_cktards will still whine when its $50
don't you guys want to wait 4 years when 2TB SSDs will be 70 bucks?
... the whole point is todays prices with todays computing demands..
Let's hope in 4 years, computing is at the quantum level!
