No

, rofl. That price tag is WAYYYY to much for that little drive IMHO.

2/3 years and they will be sensible prices.

Don't they realise that if they released them now for around £100, they'd get 10x as many people buying them and wouldn't have people laughing at them when they tell them the price.

LOL, ye there's no way that the components inside one of those come anywhere near to $1200. They are just trying to recoup devel costs and rip off a few rich people in the process.
