Platter HDDs will still be around for quite a while, especially for storage needs. While Intel has been making some great SSDs, the prices still have come down -allot- before they become more widespread and reasonable. I'm happy with my 320GB Caviar Black drive in my laptop. Great performance/size for the price. That should last me until these hit reasonable sizes for under the $300 mark.<br><br>Something tells me these HDD companies already have something in the works. Its just not as profitable for them to release something now while such a small market is actually looking for these drives.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TKWarrior]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 23rd 2008 8:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Intel ships 160GB X25-M SSD, 1.8-inch X18-M flavor coming soon]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/intel-ships-160gb-x25-m-ssd-1-8-inch-x18-m-flavor-coming-soon/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/intel-ships-160gb-x25-m-ssd-1-8-inch-x18-m-flavor-coming-soon/</guid><description><![CDATA[That's awesome but not yet ready to be consumer friendly.

The 80GB is already down to $500 at Newegg, and there's a lot of competition coming out of Samsung, Toshiba, and Sandisk soon.  I'd bet on $850 by the end of Q1 09, and nearing $750 by early Q3.  But the MLC competition is going to turn competent, and they're going to likely be at a lower price point - meaning by this time next year Intel is going to have to come down closer to $500.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[msalivar]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 22nd 2008 5:46PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Intel ships 160GB X25-M SSD, 1.8-inch X18-M flavor coming soon]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/intel-ships-160gb-x25-m-ssd-1-8-inch-x18-m-flavor-coming-soon/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/intel-ships-160gb-x25-m-ssd-1-8-inch-x18-m-flavor-coming-soon/</guid><description><![CDATA[I just bought the 80 Gig x25-m about a weeks ago and it's fast, but not what I was hoping for for the $.
