From the article:

Hard-disk drive vendors point to the higher price of solid-state drives as a reason to keep on buying hard drives, but as Bob Dylan sang, "The Times They Are a -Changin'." The advent of 3D NAND has become a game-changer for the storage industry by increasing SSD capacity and dropping SSD prices.

YESSSSS!!!! Now I can build a proper RAID

 

[chewiesw]

A weak RAND is going to keep these prices and anything imported high.

What he said...

My PC boots in 5 seconds... Windows 7 on steroids... as if I have a 6GHz CPU

 

[cerebus]

Can't wait to move overseas and pick up a 500gb for my PC build.

 

[APoc184]

Great news. I've been wanting to replace my laptop's HDD with SSD for a while now.

Will give it a bit more time and pick up a 500gb sometime.

Once you buy a ssd, there is definitely no going back

 

[UsernameLadiesMan217]

Meh.

Not really into the SSD hype despite owning a 500gb and a 120gb one.

Are you booting from it?

 

[Thor]

Are you booting from it?

Probably not.


I own one now and omg it's mind blowing like omg omg omg omg

 

[Chevron]

Are you booting from it?

He probably only has windoze on the 120GB and his games/apps on a normal HDD.

 

[UsernameLadiesMan217]

Are you booting from it?

ofc i am

 

[Thor]

Then you probably have one if those 120mb/s read write cheapies

 

[Nefertiti]

We are also getting to the stage where it is silly for a smartphone to only have internal memory of 16gb or 32 gb in.

but yay!, I cant wait for getting a 1tb ssd at a reasonable price
