I really like the downward movement in SSD prices. The high cost of HDDs made me opt for RAID0 Agility 3 SSDs in my most recent build. Pairing that with a Sandy Bridge E CPU has made it the fastest computer I've ever owned. 6 months of solid operation, although the Intel drivers are buggy. I want to see SSD prices continue to slide and capacity continue to increase. It's time we sent traditional HDDs the way of magnetic tapes and punch cards. Their time is up!

SSD prices have shifted in front of my eyes, literally. I bought a 128GB Crucial m4 almost two months ago and last month, I see it advertised for $20 lower.

nice to see prices come down though it it isn't really sane to compare SSDs to HDDs (at least for those of us with terabytes of data).

yea i know raid arrays are looking a lot more affordable and these things scale like beasts .. at least the ones im interested in .. something like a patriot wildfire which apparently really has not gone down in price .. but dose really well with raid.. once the 120s get down to 150 or so ill buy a few more 4 of these drives in raid 0 would be killer..

How about tracking SSD reliability?
Are prices and reliability falling at the same rate?
