You just hearing about these miraculous new SSD drives?]]>May 12th 2010 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/owc-debuts-uber-capacious-480gb-2-5-inch-mercury-extreme-pro-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/owc-debuts-uber-capacious-480gb-2-5-inch-mercury-extreme-pro-ssd/Metal Gear Solid 4 with Snake not even able to start smoking a cigarette before the game loads?]]>May 12th 2010 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/owc-debuts-uber-capacious-480gb-2-5-inch-mercury-extreme-pro-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/owc-debuts-uber-capacious-480gb-2-5-inch-mercury-extreme-pro-ssd/

from the article...
"But Other World Computing just threw a monkey wrench into the norm"

yet... weve had 512gb drives for a while now (looked at them around a year ago)... speed is on the upper end, but not anything new... and the prices are in line with everything else... .so i guess im failing to see this proverbial monkey wrench. its about as "norm" as it gets. there is nothing new here...

so what am i missing?]]>May 12th 2010 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/owc-debuts-uber-capacious-480gb-2-5-inch-mercury-extreme-pro-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/owc-debuts-uber-capacious-480gb-2-5-inch-mercury-extreme-pro-ssd/

Damn. OWC is a freakin' cheap-ass website.

Wow, those are some basement bottom hookers. You'd be looking at a severe lack of teeth and perhaps even an amputation or two. That comes out to $200 per unit...not good, Sir.

This SSD is about 3 times fast than your average HDD when it comes to reading and almost 100 times faster when you simply look at the time for accessing data.

Exactly.. I must be missing something because the last time i checked the Kingston V series was 512gb and $80 less.
