SSD prices fall by 48 percent in 2011-2012

Cost per Gigabyte isn't everything. Look out for failure rate and firmware bug history as well.

this is true in my case.. I want a very reliable SSD, I dont want to go through all the hassle of RMA and stuff just after couple of months of buying the product.

BTW .. is 60/64 GB sufficient for OS + BF3 + Visual Studio 2010? and which is the most reliable ones

OS=30 Gig
Visual studio=10 Gig.

Unless BF3 is more than 20 GB, I think 64 Gig is more than enough.

I didn't understand the context of 1st line. And the 2nd line as well.

lol , first line was a warning cause I play BF3 , pun was also intended

second line.. I wanted to know about alternate models other than the ones mentioned in the first post.

Still way too costly.
They should lower the price of HDDs first.....

nope. you can't accomodate any games in 60gb. 120gb is minimum.

I have mushkin callisto 60gb ssd. OS(hibernate disabled)+Apps(including adobe cs master collection except video) in it with 20gb free. SSD should not be filled upto the brim as it will affect speeds.
