Thats not bad, while the prices of traditional mechanical HD's are still hurting after the Thailand floods the prices of SSD's ... presumably in different factory's? continue to fall all the time ... meant to post for the OP that the 240 GB Vertex 3 SATA 3 SSD I bought about 12 months ago for just under £400 is now on sale at OCUK for just £134.99 inc VAT ... thats a crazy fall in price.

I'm tempted to buy one more, not that you can RAID SSD's and retain TRIM yet that I know? but I'm good to go for my flight sims on just SSD now and older mechanical HD's for bulk storage.

It goes without saying that we will all be using SSD's in time and look back on those old quaint hard drives the way we do just now on old floppy drives.

All we need now for the SSD market is to get the larger capacity ones to drop much more in price for this technology to really take off.

And it will.
