£110

£110 is pretty cheap, not too long ago OCUK had some 16GB and 32 GB laptop drives that were £200-300+

Won't be long before they are dirt cheap.

Don't forget that 18 months ago, 1GB pen drivers were around £90 to £100.

Sony will still try to charge you £200 for a 4GB Memory Stick

Those prices are much cheaper than I would have expected. 32GB SD cards should be released soon then.

Shame they won't fit in laptops.

They seem to believe that manufacturers are going to redesign all their laptops just for their hard drives, which would only make up a small number of laptops sold anyway.
