Now we're getting some decent memory sizes, might be worth a look.

hmmm ~£85 for 32gb... it`s getting close to a price where it`s worth getting 1 to try out as an OS drive.
can I yell JIM too....the cost ... the size...the performance...they'e all there and making it very attractive....one point that I keep sticking on is life expectancy....if I was using xp then it wouln't be a problem...but vista is constantly accessing the hard drive...ive done a bit of stripping of the OS but it does seem to access the disk quite alot...(I do use it as a HTPC though)...even just as a OS and having all the swap files allocated to a standard hardrive, which in my eyes seems to make the performance redundant other then OS cold boot times....
I think what i'm getting at is that everything seems ok, and i'd be willing to make the jump, however I'm willing to hold out a bit longer and see whether other peoples experiences and knowledge, and maybe for the technology to move just a bit further ahead....I know I know I'm indecisive...but harddrive failiure is a pain at the end of the day...it definitely looks very promising though

I think I'm just one price-drop away from a purchase here...
I'm willing to spend 250 EUR for 128GB. That'll fit Windows and Games. Yay.
What's interesting about this new technology is that much work becomes obsolete. Filesystems, for example, are optimized to keep data localized so the disk-head has to move as little as possible. There are more examples how the structure of "classical" hard-drives affects computing. All those will be gone and maybe we'll find a new filesystem that's optimized for SSDs in the relatively new future (and the new Windows 7 perhaps?).
I'm eagerly looking forward into the future, some interesting things will happen, I guess.

Still not cheap enough. At this price they will never take off. I'm not sure all my apps and os wouldn't fit on 32gb. I'd want all my games etc on the turbo drive too and keep all my media on the big cheap platter hdd.
Side note: ssd prices are set to drop in price by a rediculous amount in the near future, can't remember the specifics sorry.
