In relation to the future price debate, surely standard hard drive
prices will continue to fall. So although we may be buying terabytes
of ssd drives at reasonable prices in X years, we'll also be able to
buy hard drives with scores or hundreds of terabytes for reasonable
prices. Given the tendency for people with media PCs to keep
everything for as long as possible, many will chose the
scores/hundreds of terabytes, even if ssd's are faster.

We're using some Corsair P256MB SSDs at work (unfortunately the 512MB and 1TB are in 3.5" enclosures and we need 2.5") because their price now makes them easier to purchase. I'm expecting SSDs to spiral down in price and rotational HD's to go down for a little longer and then stop getting cheaper as both demand and size limitations bite. As soon as prices drop a bit more I'll be wanting one (or more) for home :-)<BR>
