All i can say is WOW!

Theyre going to be ridiculously expensive though like mentioned,i doubt SSDs will realy take off for another year or two yet,most people cant afford to splash £110 on a 30gb ssd let along something bigger.

Yeah I am about to rebuild my HTPC and considering I can buy 1 TB SATA 2 drives for under $80 a pop that is what I am going to do.
