Solid state drives are
the one piece of gear that can turn a dog computer into a cheetah, and
it looks like you may not have to scrape much longer to get one. Floods
in Thailand made prices for their spinning-plattered brethren climb, but
many SSD models like those from Crucial, OCZ and Intel have fallen up to 65 percent in the last year. Lower NAND prices, along with cheaper and better controllers from Sandforce and Indilinx
have no doubt contributed to the boon for performance-hungry consumers.
All of that means that a 256 GB drive which cost $500+ in June 2011,
now runs less than $200 -- and at $.82 / GB, it turns from a near-luxury
good to at least a thinkable proposition for many.
