120GB SSD can fall to $299 by Xmas 2008
 

Super Talent is already out with its 120GB SSD drives and they sell for $639; they are listed and available at newegg. We are talking about the newest generation 2.5 inch drives with sequential access read at max 120MB/s and sequential access write at 40MB/s. We did play with one of these drives and we can tell you that they are getting cheaper and faster by the day. Just a few months ago you would have to spend more than twice as much to get half of the capacity, but we believe that the prices of MLC memory are rapidly going down and therefore the SSDs are getting cheaper.

current crop of SATA drives has burst read/write speeds of 200+Mb/s and sustained write speed over 80mb/s... so this SSD is not about speed:)
