I could really use one of those 300 or 600Gb versions. SSD is such a scam. Conveniently priced as a luxury. The newness of the technology is no longer the reason for the high prices. Can't wait 'till a 256Gb is down to 75 bucks. Few more years for that though.
On a positive note; now that OCZ is done making RAM and only making SSD.........prices may drop more quickly.

If anyone has one post up a vid on utube :P
Nice drive tho :)
Just watched and I gotta agree. Here's what I'm thinking; An SSD will make a P.O.S. slow computer boot disproportionately faster than using a 7200 spin in the same slow ass computer. I'm guessing those are slow ass computers because my desktop shuts down and reboots in about a minute.
