    Now if they can just triple the capacity and halve the price, they just might get me interested.

    I'm not holding my breath, by the way.

    They're getting there slowly... I know Western Digital were looking into it.

    I think the problem is that the RAM companies were the obvious candidates, dealing with this type of stuff all the time.

    It's not really an industry that HD manufacturers have expertise in.

    Re: News - Corsair extends SSD warranty

    The way SSD prices are I'd like a longer warranty. That's why Crucial's 5 year warranty would probably sway my purchase if I buy one in the future.
