Looks like the Intel 80GB SSDs are $400 now. Is it time to go for it or are there rumors of new ones just around the corner?

Seems like the missing link in my system. (that and another GTX280)

Other options include a 300GB Velociraptor, 128GB G-Skill Titan or the soon to ship OCZ Apex series..

Thoughts?
 
I'd give it about 1 more year before you should start buying SSD's.
 
MTRON or Intel... either one would be good. If you got the cash, go for it. If you don't, the Blue 640GB should be enough... not much difference than my VRaptor. :p
 
Alright, well I ordered a 64 GB G-Skill for $130 to play around with it. If I like it I will get a real one. I know that there is a stuttering problem with loading the OS on it. I plan to use it to load games or as en external.

No rumors around the intel price drop huh? It was $500 last week on newegg right?
 
im retarded when it comes to knowledge about SSD, someone tell me why they are so much better than a reg HD
 
As this review shows, a good SSD outperforms a Western Digital VelociRaptor. However, the comparatively higher prices of SSDs, not to mention future predictions of faster, larger capacity SSDs being available for less, make them a bad buy in the eyes of many at this point in time.
