    It'll likely get to $400 by April 2014. I snagged one when it hit $435. Great drive, no complaints.

    might have to even wait for one more shrink...it has dropped an unbelievable amount in the last 12 months. We were hard pressed to believe 600/TB let alone 400-450/TB

    That's true. I wonder if any of the other players will join in on the 1TB SSD party? That might accelerate the price drop.

    Would be nice, I battle a full SSD daily with my 160GB Intel but I'll hold out until the day comes for a new computer build.
