Prices are dropping. It wasn't too long ago that a 500GB SSD was about 2000 pounds.

Market rate is now about 0.10 per gigabyte. * +

samsung has good prices

Yep, infact what got me to make this topic was when Kotaku posted a 'very, very good deal' on a samsung 840 pro series 256GB SSD which cost around 120 dollars (239 USD normal price) and they said its a very good deal. Well, i was wondering why the hell a 256GB hard disk is cheap at 120GB. * +

companies need to bring the prices down they take the pi*s

They can only bring prices down when new technology and cheaper production methods arise. A 10MB hard disk in the 70s cost around 5000 dollars you know lol * +

Speed is the main benefit. HDD's have been a bottleneck for years now, they are old tech.

Speed, yep i know that but what you mean by speed? Does it have to be use with an ordinary HDD and boost its speed or does the SSD itself will be high in speed like transferring files on the disk? * +

SSD's are a lot quicker than HDD'S in all speed tests that I know of, from small files read and write to larger files read/write. Seek times. HDD's are only better for storing files and that's ONLY because they are cheaper. If SSD's cost the same as HDD's then HDD's would be completley pointless. * +
