What are people's predictions of when SSD will be the standard drive in say the higher end laptop market (£800+) from HP, Acer and the like. I hope they will conicide with Windows 7 release in the first quarter of 2010 - which is supposed to be "optimised" for SSD use. Or am I being optemistic?!
I don't think they'll be 'standard' as such until 512GB is an affordable size as otherwise the capacity compromise is likely to be seen as too much. That said, I expect it to be a widely available upgrade option by the end of the year.
I run an X25-M, I couldn't go back to HDDs now!
As soon as 150 - 200 GB drives come down a bit in price I'm dumping the Raptor and using one as my system drive (where the difference in speed should be quite dramatic). Maybe for the install of Jaunty Jackelope :)
Media storage can stay on my normal hard discs as speed is virtually irrelevent here. Well until SSDs become as cheap as chips anyway.
