In a recebt interview, Apacer general manager CK Chang mentions that that pricing of 256GB solid state disks are expected to fall under $70 in the second half of this year. Though 128GB models are sl... 256GB SSDs to drop under $70 this year
With price normally decrease performance and general quality of the product. Also decrease avalaibility of the performance model because shops tend to stock the cheap one. SSD now are al aligned in performance, when prices will fall down prepare for unknow revision, changes in controller without notice. If you get a 256SSD in a single chip memory do not expect fast performance
I got a crucial m550 256GB for 76euro( 87 delivered ) a few weeks ago, they had a half price sale, sold out in an hour.
My 840 EVO was the best thing I ever purchased, and I paid 180€. It really makes any PC feel like new!
Well the current game sizes are huge. 256GB is the bare minimum. Unless you use dedicated SSD for gaming and OS.
Interesting.... for prices like this, it now doesn't feel so wasteful installing games to SSDs. I might considering doing a RAID setup with SSDs for prices like these. I have more SATA ports than I know what to do with.
My first SSD was a 80GB Kingston, somwhere arround 2009. It as for OS only but damn it made huuuge difference, but at a hefty cost. Then in 2013 I bought a replacement Corsair Force Series GT 120GB, it's not only a bit faster but I actually manage to squeeze 2-3 games in it as well. I would LOVE to have all my games on SSDs but my Steam/Origin/Uplay libraries are just under 1.5TB... so yeah, looking forward to cheaper SSDs and the days when I can afford to have all my games on them.
no matter how the prices drop if u concern about ur data / downtime, just stick with proved brand (intel/samsung/crucial/plextor) and u will be happy i personally always have my faith to intel ssd
Luv me 840 and 850 (use em as OS drives on both my systems) IF this happens I'm probably gonna grab a couple 850s for gaming, it's tiresome having only 2-3 games installed at any given time due to lack of space. HDDs I only use for storage these days. Video recording SSDs still a few years away for me, I don't see 1TB SSDs getting reasonable pricing any time soon
