SSD Prices Start To Plunge

[SpecialEd]

Ohhhh... so tempted to get the 1TB size. So tempted ...

But, I'm wagering that the prices will drop even more. At the same time, 1TB HD's are now in the commodity basement. Dirt cheap. Give away prices!

I'll salvage used HDDs and I'll keep and use the ones I have but no matter how "inexpensive" spinning disks are going the way of the dinosaur. I bought the same SSD last year and put it in my Asus. My boot time shrunk from about 2 minutes to about 13 seconds from the Grub menu. I am also not concerned with longevity, it's pretty much comparable these days between HDDs and SSDs.

I am not needing an SSD, but I thought some of you guys might be interested, if you didn't already catch this one at Tom's:
