I am waiting on Samsung's 1TB SSDs to hit $100. Hey, I can dream, right?

Bought the Micron 1100 a few months ago, didn't expect further price drops. In hindsight wish I had gotten more faster Samsungs.

Let me know when the gumsticks start dropping then I'll start celebrating.

<sigh> Why do price drops for anything never seem to reach Australia?
Prices for SSDs remain static. A few graphics card prices rose again...

I'm somewhat neutral on this. Replaced the HDD in my main PC with a 1GB Samsung and have been pretty unimpressed with speed...other than boot time, which is quite fast. Not sure what the issue is, but very little help out there, probably because everyone assumes an SSD will perform regardless and/or not many have yet made this move. I used their utility to clone the HDD to the SSD, after cleaning up temp files, etc.

Have you installed their Magician software for the SSD? Give it a try and see if the performance improves. It's not necessary, but if my SSD didn't seem to be performing as expected, I'd install the Magician software to see if it helped. You may actually have something else going on with your system, too. Keep on tweaking that bad boy!
