while ssd are supposed to be the shiz nizzlle they've only been around a quick minute so they are really not tested in the real world as far as durability

A 1 tb goes for around $200 a ssd that size isnt even avaialble and if it was would be well over $2000

speed is moot 90% of folks could care less about saving a few seconds

people want cheap 5 year warranty on a 1tb drive under $200 everytime they go on sale I scoop one up and when the 2TB come 2 of them will go in every system I build 4TB PCs with just 2 drives great for media centers : ) or even better 2 External drives for portability I love seagate

That HAS to be a mis-quote, he probably said 10-dollars-per-GB. HDDs aren't even at that point today, they're at the about-$3.50-per-GB level.

So basically, Seagate won't get into the consumer SSD game until 2054?]]>May 30th 2008 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/seagate-to-jump-into-the-ssd-games-2tb-spinners-planned-for-nex/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/seagate-to-jump-into-the-ssd-games-2tb-spinners-planned-for-nex/May 30th 2008 11:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/seagate-to-jump-into-the-ssd-games-2tb-spinners-planned-for-nex/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/seagate-to-jump-into-the-ssd-games-2tb-spinners-planned-for-nex/May 30th 2008 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/seagate-to-jump-into-the-ssd-games-2tb-spinners-planned-for-nex/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/seagate-to-jump-into-the-ssd-games-2tb-spinners-planned-for-nex/May 30th 2008 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/seagate-to-jump-into-the-ssd-games-2tb-spinners-planned-for-nex/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/seagate-to-jump-into-the-ssd-games-2tb-spinners-planned-for-nex/
