I would seriously doubt it. Enthusiasts aren't currently showing massive interest in them, even if there are discounts and freebies going around.
I'd not seen any pop-up business-wize so far, even the newest laptops we're getting aren't sporting them. We've had a big set of storage installations going on recently too.
I'd not mind betting as I've said so many times, the SSD people have priced themselves out of the equation, to a rediculous level, and by the time they "appear" to be reasonably priced - even for the minor storage space they have, something newer will come along that may make the whole venture a waste of time and expense.
Perhaps this is the tech ? I'd prefer to see them goto a data storage mogul rather than the likes of Intel, this would indeed keep the resulting end price down. Intel don't exactly look after any1s interests when it comes to prices.
That being said too, if these do prove good options (or any other product that emerges as it's clear people are looking for alts to SSDs), there will be many companies smaller than Intel that have invested massive cash in the production and process of SSDs and it could turn ugly for them.
Simply for the fact these 'other companies' could be seen as jumping on the cash bandwagon, for a product massively overpriced to do what it does, I wouldn't lose any sleep over them having problems.

I reckon SSD's are gonna see a massive drop it price by the end of the year if not start of next, the markets are over saturated and overpriced!
And the best things SDD's are good for is running your operating system and programs a little bit quicker.
Anyways back on topic, these HRD's do sound good, it's about time the hard disk got the research it deserved, always felt this was the one area where PC components always seemed to lack.. the bottleneck if you must.
i'll defo be keeping one eye on this tech :yumyum:

i think soild state is the way to go for now. most of the kinks have been worked out. the only problem i have are hard shut downs. twice i have had to reinstall my os after power failures. i now have a ups.
found this on wiki.
OCZ has recently demoed at Cebit 2009 a 1 TB flash SSD drive utilizing PCI Express x8 interface, it achieves a minimum read speed of 654MB/s and maximum read speed of 712MB/s
