    Default SSD Prices plummeting (computers)

    About bloody time an all. Took a few years for that cash cow to slow up didn't it. Baring in mind the components in a normal HD compared to a SSD and I put it to you that an SSD's components are worth half of what's in a HD.

    Good times ahead as 120gb's going for £85, 'Mushkin' to so very good quality

    They're still pretty unreliable compared to a standard HDD unfortunately, my first one blew up and I know a few people who have had similar problems. That said, I still use one for my boot drive and it's does make a significant difference.

    I went for the Sandisk Extreme 120GB to replace my trusty 64GB M4, got it for £84 from Scan.

    Not biting until I can get 512GB for sub £150

    A long wait, I know but I'm in no rush.
