    d'oh!!! I posted a thread without seeing yours...sorry about that...but yeah I saw it too from the engadget site. I think the reported price has to be wrong...afterall the 32gb drives announced at CES were only like $600 (???)

    But I still do thing these might be an option in some systems by December this year. Especially since they are shipping drives as of this month but only for commercial and industrial use the info sheet seems to imply that they have not gotten the heat issue approved by the FCC and UL (or whoever certifies that stuff anymore.) Once that is done it's likely going to be like overnight that the big computer mfg being putting them in higher end systems. since most companies do not run on huge inventories anymore seems there should not be much lag time between offical announcement of them for consumer systems and when we start seeing them as a real option.

    I think - if that is true information, then by the end of this year, we will face new era in drives department.
    it would be cool, especially when standard hard drives are reaching capacity (and speed!) limits...
    of course the hybrid drives may come out first, 'cause I doubt someone will dump all current hard drive production lines and factories.
