Anyway not using disks as storage was predicted over 40 years ago. Dave Bowman is not removing HDD's here.

They are all marked M1 at the bottom, must've been made by Crucials evil computer dept.

You think that's bad?! Kingston actually produces an 8GB SSD. But yeah, a 30GB SSD is pretty much worthless.

i have a 30gb vertex in my home computer - perfectly usable - whats wrong with that? we dont all need warehouses of space

yeah i think it i trim down windows enough ill get os/wow/bf3 onto a 60gb which is more then enough for me all the other crap i have on my pc i rarely use so can sit on the standard hdd. when prices start being reasonable 2gb/£ then ill upgrade the size till then i can survive on a 60gb and still get the benefits to my most used programs.

Once 128gb SSD drives are available for £100 or less, I'll become tempted at the most.

Will have to be 500GB/£100 for me to be that interested, unless hard drives stop being so much better value (even at current prices)> For someone like me who starts their PCs once and runs them for days on end (some work machines have 100+ days uptime) SSDs don't offer enough to be that tempting

Before anyone asks yes I have had 3 or 4 SSDs, in laptops where they belong

HDD prices are falling now too so you can imagine SSD sales will shrink once they get back down to prices near where they used to be.

Same price as I payed back in October last year, unless they went up since then and have came back down?

Get the Corsair M4 120gb for £80-100 and then I might consider reformatting to fit one.

If OCUK start selling Crucial M4's in packs of 38 with free artificial intelligence software, then you'll know the future has arrived.
