    I am glad to see SSDs selling for this price. They are really pushing into the territory that typical HDDs occupy.

    There's been TONS of sales on the quality SSD's too. I think they're just testing the market. It would be nice for SSD's to be about $0.50/GB commonplace. 256GB for $128, 512GB for $256... I think 512GB is the sweet spot though. If they can make them commonly $250 or less, HDD's of 500GB or so will have a hard time selling.

    As long as mechanical hard drive's prices remain artificially inflated, then yeah, I can see SSDs being more widely adopted.
