Brilliant pricing strategy.

 

[Gin Fushicho]

The prices arent too bad. Except maybe for the 512GB where over a grand is ridiculous.

Guys, it's MLC, not SLC; we're in 2009 not 2007!
We don't even know the performance yet..

Still too expensive!
Where are those pricedrops to $1/1GB analysts where proclaiming?

 

[Guest]

performance meaning IOPS

Cya in 2 - 3 years. But honestly, I don't think SSD will ever be a mass product.

Analysts probably didn't factor in increasing corporate demand for SSDs, the ensuing chip shortage, and the increased complexity of the controllers... Next year, if they are even still relevant, and that is also an important factor. Something could come along and make them obsolete....

Hmm...A SSD with a new, possibly immature controller? I think I'll stick with my Patriot Torqx drive and it's Indilinx Barefoot controller. This is the only controller that's been proven to match Intel's SSD controller in real world performance.

Regardless of performance, SSD's just too expensive right now. Hopefully, we'll see some dramatic price decreases in the next couple of years.

Intel here I come!

Just compare those prices to server 10K - 15K HDD and you'll find it reasonable enough.

 

[ceteras]

SSD is a niche product for those with tons of disposable income.
Perhaps if the fruit company would sell all their stuff exclusively with SSD's, prices could come down faster.

 

[sixbone]

The prices will drop for sure, but the ratio of $/gig for SSD will always lose to traditional magnetic media $/gig.

Does anyone know how this DX drive compares with their GX models? I can't seem to find any reviews or data for this model.
