SSD early adopter worth it?

[no_control]

Yup!

I had bought 2 Gskill Falcon 128gb when they first came out on a newegg sale for less than $300 w/ tax and shipping...

I go on ebay today to see if I can pick up another pair for a different project. They have apppreciated! Nice...thinking of selling them if people are really paying close to $400 for one of these.

For once being an early adopter has paid off instead of losing half the value in 4 months.

Hah, yeah, SSD prices have remained steady over the past 6+ months... I think the scarcity of Intel X25-M drives is partly to blame for that, it wouldn't affect 120GB+ pricing of Indillix drives as much, but their 60GB drives would have to come down significantly if the 80GB X25-M was more readily available (even the 60GB OCZ Agility is still $200+). I think it'd affect 120GB Indillix drives as well tho (if X25-M drives were more readily available for the MSRP of $220 or w/e), not many people would pay twice as much for 50% more capacity.
