I hope they have improved the terrible issue of random writes and decereasing performance over time currently plauging all SSDs. Pricing is irelevent while that issue remains. I would happily pay £100 for a 16GB drive that performs at an actual 100MB/s+ random read and write speed without any performance degragation. Though for all my programs and operating system I'de really need around 60GB.
Unless they can deliver large capacities in prices reasonably competitive with normal hard drives, they're doomed. These things are simply too expensive, and, currently, drives are simply too small to replace hard drives.
Good to see a local player stepping up to the mark and leading the way. Bought a Matrix machine in 2002 and was pleasantly surprised with the performance. Last box was a Dell. Not bad, but not great. Will look at this new offer on Tuesday to see if it's kosher/halal.
I'm going to have to keep an eye out for them on prices I was going to get 1 of the 64BG Kingston SSD's but for a little more I'd rather buy something that can give me better performance for my £ these might do it.
anyone wanna buy a 20gb harddrive for £100?
i'm sure i have a couple kicking around somewhere...
i'll even throw in a 64mb flash drive for an extra fiver

Tony Rockhardi told us "I'm looking for 100 per cent penetration with SSD."
That's what she said...
Bonfire night?, have we started celebrating the art of making bonfires on Nov 5th.
Its 'Guy Fawkes' night.
What exactly qualifies a business as a channel partner?
Would Newegg.com be one of these channel partners?
the most entertaining part of any SSD story is when they get to the price
i just cant help myself laughing hysterically at the foolish amount of money they expect people to part with for a miniscule amount of storage
a fool and their money...

Expect pricing at $225 for an 80GB, $440 for 160GB. Probably going to sell out fast.

Knowning INTEL the 80GB will be £200 thou.
