Great news for me... because it means the cost of the Vetex II will eventually start dropping (soon). I have no need for "super speed" in my SSD for my HTPC. But I would rather have a silent, quick, and cool SSD than a 2.5" HDD.

I've got to say, the SSD prices have dropped faster than any other bit of tech I've ever seen (excluding, possibly, video card prices). Things that cost $400 six months ago cost $180 now, and they might actually be faster than their 6 month ago predecessor. I highly approve.

Problem with them is the SATA3 requirements which may force some of us to upgrade the mainboard or get an additional controller.
But as you guys already mentioned, this will make everything else cheaper and I can't wait for that to happen.
I have installed at work the OCZ RevoDrives which are basically the same specs only that they are PCI-E cards and come with embedded raid controller. Transferring data at those speeds is simply mind blowing.
