Had to beat LM to it :p.... No, but seriously; these sound great--- sometime, somewhere in the future. Considering I've read on blogs that Toshiba's new 512GB SSD is expected to be priced around $1500...I won't hold my breath for a low priced SDXC 2TB card anytime in the next 5yrs :(...

http://www.electronista.com/articles/08/12/22/intel.x25.m.160gb.ships/ *yawn* Sheesh, why would anyone pay a premium for one of these when a 7.2k HDD can do that for likely 1/4th the price with 2-3x capacity??? Too slow. Samsung & Toshiba to ship much faster write capability 256 & 512GB...

Not exactly as much vaporware as Samsung...but how much will this cost? $2k??? Once again, pushing the limits of SATA 3Gb/s standard, will definitely need 6Gb/s standard next year.

If it's costs less than 3x ($1.5k) the Intel Xtreme 80GB SSD, then we have a winner. It's a year late, since Samsung announced they'd be shipping such a drive, but how long before the 512GB SSD's (that you don't need to sell off a kidney for) come to market...

http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/39592/135/ Kind of have a feeling, SATA 6GB/s standard finalized and should be appearing next year on most MB's, will lead to NAND SSD's that approach that thoroughput. at similar price level, perhaps greater capacity. Not many people need that speed for that...

So I was thinking...for more pussy, I could be a gigilo (oh, no SC already did that thread on SR ;) ) Well jtr put up on hella odd thread, so I might as well too :D. Thread title has little to do with the text of the OP you say? It sort of does though, but I don't want to make too long of a...

Holy crap, they paid Seinfeld how much money for his infamy, to be included in the M$ new ad campaign that's supposed to fix the tarnished image of Vista as spoofed by the 'Get a Mac' Apple ads? Anyone seen the latest "I'm a PC" ads? ...really sad, kind of like the OS :D Microsoft's 'I'm a PC'...
