The same reason why it's so expensive to buy really old types of RAM... because it's OLD. DDR3 is the new DDR2. Has been for a while.

Similarly, try looking for an older CPU and see how much people are asking for. DDR2 isn't there yet, but just you wait.]]>Jan 25th 2010 8:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/kingstons-ssdnow-v-series-hits-512gb-capacity-adds-trim-suppo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/kingstons-ssdnow-v-series-hits-512gb-capacity-adds-trim-suppo/Jan 25th 2010 9:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/kingstons-ssdnow-v-series-hits-512gb-capacity-adds-trim-suppo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/kingstons-ssdnow-v-series-hits-512gb-capacity-adds-trim-suppo/Jan 25th 2010 9:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/kingstons-ssdnow-v-series-hits-512gb-capacity-adds-trim-suppo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/kingstons-ssdnow-v-series-hits-512gb-capacity-adds-trim-suppo/Jan 25th 2010 8:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/kingstons-ssdnow-v-series-hits-512gb-capacity-adds-trim-suppo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/kingstons-ssdnow-v-series-hits-512gb-capacity-adds-trim-suppo/And yet they already have.

I'll let you guys know how it stands up to the Intel SSD's.

Yea.. I would think around $699 would be about realistic for one of these in 512Gb. odd.]]>Jan 26th 2010 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/kingstons-ssdnow-v-series-hits-512gb-capacity-adds-trim-suppo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/kingstons-ssdnow-v-series-hits-512gb-capacity-adds-trim-suppo/
Ah.. well the 256Gb.. is $699 = $1398 for 2 of them.. equalling 512Gb... a $602 premium just 'cus it's 512Gb in one single drive unit.. zzzz.]]>Jan 26th 2010 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/kingstons-ssdnow-v-series-hits-512gb-capacity-adds-trim-suppo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/kingstons-ssdnow-v-series-hits-512gb-capacity-adds-trim-suppo/Jan 26th 2010 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/kingstons-ssdnow-v-series-hits-512gb-capacity-adds-trim-suppo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/kingstons-ssdnow-v-series-hits-512gb-capacity-adds-trim-suppo/
I guess i'll get 30 of these in speed raid... Just kidding, cause you know, THAT would be a waste of money.. One is totally okay though... The performance gain is obviously worth all that cash...


(you guys can tell i'm kidding right?]]>Jan 25th 2010 11:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/kingstons-ssdnow-v-series-hits-512gb-capacity-adds-trim-suppo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/kingstons-ssdnow-v-series-hits-512gb-capacity-adds-trim-suppo/
HDD = Great for huge storage, cheap per Gb
SSD = Awesome boot speeds, no bad sectors, no seek times, better reliability, but horrendously expensive per Gb at the moment.

They are two different products, personally, I use both to a good effect.]]>Jan 26th 2010 2:36AM
