285mbps and 50 000 OPS, thats fast :D
I only own a single ssd drive right now, but when I put a new system together, it is going to be solid state only, with an external HDD based storage unit for data storage.
Once you try a system with an SSD, it's hard to go back to the old and slow spindle.
For those who complain about the prices : either budget and save to get one now, or wait until they become mainstream and affordable. No need to whine in every single SSD news section about the prices.
