Casually awaits for the early adopters to bring down the price. Already done my time with ram and chips and hdd's and.....

Ah yes, paying $1500 for A 2nd hand 1.5MB upgrade, they were the days. ]]>May 20th 2010 7:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/I'd spend the money on one- but I'm just not happy with other's reviews about SSDs CONSISTENCY. SSDs at the moment seem to do well at first, but continually degrade in performance. TRIM support has helped this but I'd like something more robust- the consumer shouldn't have to worry about how his drive will perform 1-2-6 months down the road and so on- I want to see consistent read/write times that you don't have to worry about in the future. Also, Apple has yet to implement TRIM support for their Mac OS X- so I'm still supporting HHDs until the wrinkles get ironed out.]]>May 20th 2010 7:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/May 20th 2010 9:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/

i gueass longer, it is really cheaper to make an hhd spinning at 12-15k and that is what all hdd maker are after now. ]]>May 20th 2010 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/May 20th 2010 7:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/May 20th 2010 7:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/
The market is there now. Most people don't need anything larger than 128 or 250. I think we will be surprised and see prices for the SSD's fall sooner than we think.]]>May 20th 2010 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/
"Most people don't need more than 128 or 250."
Haha, maybe if you use your computer like a smartphone, which I suppose given the success of that-which-will-not-be-named may actually be true for the majority of people.

Between 3 machines on my home network we've got several TiB of data, less than half of it is media. Sure the plural of anecdote isn't data but it's wildly more accurate than "talking out my ass."]]>May 20th 2010 8:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/I've around 60TBs. Have not yet used an ssd but i think of getting a small (60gig) just for the system.

Agree with you. External hdds would not be such a large market if consumers did not want all these gigs.

Bottom line for me is that when ssds reach 2TB (optimal volume for me) they will probably cost not much more than hdds. That will buy me.]]>May 20th 2010 9:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/
Do you really think most people are like you?

Think about it.

You are obviously not like 90% of the market. When 250 gig SSD's get cheap, the marketing blitz will begin and they will replace ordinary hard drives. The hardcore users like you will still use the standard HD's for some time to come.]]>May 20th 2010 10:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/
What's stopping you from having all of that storage in a NAS? The point of having SSDs isn't to warehouse all of your information but to use as a platform to operate on. You could have 2x60gb (or larger) in Raid 0 on a notebook/desktop and be just fine. You would just pull files from your repository when you need to operate on them and then have a scheduled sync.

If you are using SSDs as your primary storage, you are doing it wrong.]]>May 21st 2010 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=912]]>May 20th 2010 7:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/May 20th 2010 8:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/May 20th 2010 8:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/About as easy as taking a sledgehammer to it; depends if you like Macs.]]>May 20th 2010 8:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/May 21st 2010 6:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/corsair-expands-sandforce-sf-1200-based-ssd-family-with-60gb-12/Nice one man!
