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 :-)
