@d6bmg:

Don't be so sure. ;) 5-6 years is a very long time for technology to progress to a completely different level.

BMG ftw!!
^^ The only one revolution which came in SSD world is the OCZ RevoDrive pci-e ssds, which, if implemented properly by various companies at reasonable prices have the potential to 'replace' normal hdds from the market...

That's why I said 5-6 years. ;)

^^ It is expected. SSDs are only for enthusiasts due to high price. Even if price of HDDs increase still it will remain vfm product compare to SSDs at least for next 5-6 years.

You could be saying this now and buying a SSD next year ;-)

FYI...ppl ssd is not the future of computer storage....holographic storage is.....in next 3~5 years it will be house hold name by then.
SSD's are just not reliable as HDD's & it will remain that way,plus higher cost drives them from being common.
In our country people are mostly budget conscious..nobody will go for it unless it sells for 500gb for 1750...:)!!!!!!

Presently even the 500gb HDDs are not available at that price and I don't think people will stop buying PCs for that. Eventually SSDs will become cheaper. I remember even CD writer debuted at 10k and DVD writer even higher. So was the case of pendrives/memory cards which has become ubiquitous now.

i said regarding prices of hdd's as they were ...before the floods in Thailand
ssd's would be cheaper but not as cheap as the hdd's ever...!
by the time they are cheap something new and more reliable will be there in the market & competitively cheaper too...!

From the time that the first floods hit production, to the time when hard drive prices will return to the sort of levels we had in September 2011, will be a lengthy 9 months.

Around the start of summer 2012, we will finally see the channel price for a 1TB drive settle back down around the £25 mark.

Don't know, if the 8120 comes down to 10k, it will look good on paper at least. Also we need cheaper mobos (where's 970 chipset) asap.


BTW, this looks like the last nail in BD's coffin as a gamer's choice:-

User has the option in future to switch to IvyBridge..hope for better performance tham SB...not like 10% performance improvement between BD and piledriver!!!!!!

For a gamer, $65 translates choosing a 6970 over a 6950 or like. ;) No prizes for guessing which one is more favorable for a gaming system.
