The private person does not need 500GB or 2TB SSDs. That market is perfectly covered by the normal HDD.
What we need is SSD in sizes 60-120GB to come to a price level of no more than 2.5$ (1.7£)pr GB so we can get a fast, low access time primary disk.

"Sandisk claimed that the G3 SSD will be a "compelling alternative" to 7200RPM hard drives"
*recommended retail price are 60GB for £150, and 120GB for £260.*

how is it a compelling alternative when there are no 500GB, 1TB, 1.5TB or 2TB drives ?

The inquirer has really gone downhill, this layout really sucks. I hope they fix it! There are more ads on the first page of this site then all of engadget + tomshardware combined. This site reminds me of what happened to tomshardware. When they changed over to the layout I stopped going to their site. I guess it's time to move on.

The competition already has 128GB SSDs for ~$375USD.

£260 = ~$400USD

They should re-evaluate their value proposition, because it is definitely not price.

Considering that you can buy 3 1TB HDs for the price of one 60GB SSD, I hardly would call it competitive.
Yeah, great read/write speeds, but you can get pretty close to it with 2 short stroked 1TB drives RAID 0 array, and for much less.
Why SSD's are more reliable than HD's? They eliminated the cell wearing problem?

To drive the price down!

Theyre too expensive!!

@hoohoo

Read/Write 220/120

No info about controller :(

Perhaps my entire understanding of what is going at boot up is wrong. I would think boot time is more dependent on read speed than write speed.
