    I was looking up SSDs and found out that pureSilicon produced 1TB 2.5" SSDs back in January. Granted, these were strictly for military/medical use.

    8 months have passed, so I'm wondering: are there any consumer 1TB 2.5" SSDs yet?

    Not yet though hopefully they are just on the horizon. I'm eager for one too. Thought about looting your local hospital :p

    The price would possibly equal to the price of 2 mainstream laptops. o_0

    I think the most current mainstream equivalent is from Asus Lamborghini VX5 (5? 3? I don't remember). I believe they use 2x drives though, not sure if they are 1.8" or 2.5" but total capacity is 1TB for the SSDs.
