    Reading reviews around the web its clear that this is a beast. Hopefully prices will come down, capacities will go up, and then we can all ditch the ridiculous spinning platters in our computers.

    Can't wait for that. I'll just offload my drives to the family for some money towards an SSD when they do drop

    Now all they need to do is get them up to 1.5TB, improve rewriteability to that of a magnetic HDD, and sell for £150, and I'm all in. There's no bloody way I'm paying *that* much for what is essentially a USB stick with a SATA interface slapped on. Heck, I could almost get 80GB of DRAM at that price, and that's way way faster and doesn't die after a few thousand writes.
