OCZ Octane 512 GB SSD Review: Meet Indilinx's Everest Controller

ksampannaFast yes, affordable no. My guess is at least 5 years for a 1 TB ssd to be under $100it's so much fun to dream....don't expect prices to drop that much....that's what people people said about CPUs a few years back, yet nothing has changed.... another example is the mid and top end video cards....since manufacturing techniques have improved and have become more efficient one would think that the products would be cheaper....that's not the case....it's called demmand....people demand faster components and will pay a premium price for it, why would manufacturers drop the prices?...they still have to make a profit

theuniquegamerI think in 2 to 3 years we can get a affodable and fast 1tb ssd in market

yeah.
and in 2 to 3 years we can get a 20 core intel 9999 X edition for $50.
and gtx990X2 for just $100.

edvinasmStill comparing Crysis 2 to everything that moves? I had WD Blue in RAID 0 for quite a while and was relatively happy. Before Christmas however, I have replaced them with just simple, SATA 300 Intel 320 SSD 80Gb. Boy what a difference! No more HDD scratchy sounds, no heat from them, no vibrations, no annoying ticks when idle, silent.. Speed wise PC boots up within 30 sec, and I am only running Intel i3 2100 with no OC. To those who are holding onto HDD I would say unless capacity is the key - sell it off for an SSD. Especially now that HDD prices are skyroketting it is proving easier and easier to do the swap.
And I recommend folks hold onto their current hard drives and get a boot SSD. 80GB may be enough for you, but a lot of us have bigger storage needs. Its gonna take about a year for the hard drive market to recover, so hang on to those mechanical drives.

I do believe that 3-5 years from now we will see a huge increase on performance accompanied by a huge drop in price (compare with today's prices and performance)

Then we will probably have SATA 4 on the market and the "right price/GB/TB" will be on SATA 3 SSD's.

With that in mind, I have always build my systems a generation "behind" which is always more than "a few" generations of whatever I had built last, I have always double or triple my previous built performance for around the same money invested on it.

(plus/minus a few new "tricks" that probably were not on the previous built that could raise my budget
200 dollars or so)

Is is possible to get an 1TB SSD for around $100-$200 dollars in 3-5 years?
I believe it will be.
just don't expect to also be the faster SATA 4, you will have to "compromise" by been a little "behind"
in speed.

Add "SSD" to the title.

nebunthat's what people people said about CPUs a few years back, yet nothing has changedAMD Athlon 64 4000+ San Diego 2.4GHz circa 2005 - $475.99 inflation adjusted to 2011 ~$548.22
Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Conroe 3.0GHz circa 2007 - $279.99 inflation adjusted to 2011 ~$304.10
Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz circa 2011 - $219.99

I'm sorry, you were saying?
