A Bad Day Price per GB? That's what consumer SSDs should be focused on, since increased read/write speeds on top of already high speeds don't really help the average joe or gamer.Reply -

Using a new manufacturing process should mean more nand cells using less actual materials. So it SHOULD in theory mean it could be cheaper.
