    Even hotter, OCZ Agility 60GB for $129 AR. Considering they recently released FW 1.5 for both drives, and that firmware is pretty much perfect for it...this is a good time to pick up a great performing SSD at low price before the next generation is released (and prices go back up).

    I am still waiting for 500GB drives to drop to sub $100 prices. I am going to be waiting for a LONG time.

    I'm waiting until 256GB SSD's come in under $300. Soon as that happens, I'll kick my 500GB to media storage duty and be happy ;) I just want to be able to use my machine without having to have an external drive attached. I think if I trim some game and app installers out (I archive everything), as well as keeping videos and such mostly on external media, I can do that.

    Hey, it might work. My own personal bailout :D. Or maybe I can apply to become the next GM CEO, because I'd love to have that kind of paycheck.
