man you'd probably have to sell your nuts on the black market to afford that. What do you think the price on that would be? at least 1k for at least twelve more months? I can't wait till those are affordable... i'd definitely buy one if the SSD $/GB ratio mirrors what we're seeing w/ the current disks (probably not for awhile lol)
160-320GB is really way way more than enough for me (for an OS drive). My main space killer tend to be just videos and high res rips anyway... putting that type of data on slow 1-2TB drives + redundancy somewhere else (NAS/DAS/unraid/server/whatever) is much much better for me. Besides, for the high price of that drive, you could probably buy yourself the 80gb X-25 for your main rig, and 4 2TB drives and do a raid10 w/ it.
it's cool as hell though, and probably last you way longer than a smaller SSD drive (b/c less write/erases on the same block right?)
We already got word of the starting price for the entry-level 128GB drive in OCZ's new Colossus line of SSDs, but details on the standout 1TB model have unfortunately been quite a bit harder to come by. OCZ's now finally cleared up most of those remaining questions, however, and announced that the drive will be available mid-August for a jaw-dropping $2,500 (give or take a few bucks). The 500GB drive will also apparently be available at the same time, although OCZ doesn't seem to be saying anything more than that it'll be "less expensive."
And the OCZ driver would still kick the crap out of it. It's way too pricey but hopefully it'll come down QUICK.
I'm not saying it will be. I'm just talking about price/functionality.
I just see storage space is one need, performance is another. Why pay $2500 to try to get some kind of dual-purpose drive when with that amount of money, you can pick up say... the new X-25 80GB at $220 for your gaming/performance machine, and probably still have enough money left over to build an insane file server.
1tb ssd omg dooo want!
