$400 for a 128GB? Sounds like the SSD market/race is finally going to start slowing down for the consumer.

Is this a dawn of Seagate WD etc? These SSD companies pop out from nowhere.
Those old school HDD companies will have a nut to crack if everybody starts making SSDs at home.

Seagate/wd/samsung/hitchi and the like have been working on SSD tech for years, they just havent brought anything out because the sales figuars would SUCK(low volume=high price)

they are mostly looking at a mixed mode setup with ram(flashram or ddr) mixed with a classic mech hdd, these drives could offer the speed boost of ssd with the capacity of mech at a lower price point.

SSD's got at least another year or 2 b4 they become "main stream"
