    In case you guys haven't seen this:

    http://www.electronista.com/articles/07/05/29/pqi.256gb.solid.state/

    Albeit only a 32 GB SSD 1.8" which is becoming a bit "mainstream", I think it is very impressive with the 2.5" 256 GB SSD they are going to produce.

    It's probably going to be very expensive, but think about putting one of those babies in your notebook :cool:

    I heard it is 5000usd a piece...
    but to have a 256gb is a good news, at least some prices will fall.

    5.000 USD! :eek:

    It's nice, but not that nice... And that's coming from someone who is willing to pay a premium for quality stuff :)

    Hey I'd pay 5 bucks US for 1 hell I'll take 20 for an even 100 dollars.

    At 5000 it's not worth it.

    Over in Europe, decimal points and thousands place commas are switched.
