</div>1 Tbyte drives have been well less than $300 for quite some time now.<br>
And the good ones are capable of significantly more than 100 Mibytes/s<br>
sustained throughput. 1.5 Tbyte drives are well below $200 now also.<br>
2 Tbyte drives are still a little expensive, but coming down now.<br></blockquote><div><br>Daniel was talking about 1TB SSD drives.<br><br>According to pricespy the best price for a 2TB is $199 - 10 cents a gigabyte. I kind of wish I'd ripped all my CDs to flac instead of mp3 now...<br>
