Disappearing SSD

As some of you may remember, I’ve been using a 32gb solid state drive in my desktop for a bit not, and I’ve been happy with it. Enough so that I was ready to make the jump to take apart my laptop and retrofit it with a SSD, and Toni was brave enough to volunteer as well. One problem — they’ve disappeared. All of the stores that I could previously find it from don’t have them anymore. Where did all the SSDs go? BTW the best news source I’ve found for SSDs is Engadget’s tag page.

  1. What do you think? Apple is putting these in the revamped PowerBooks, er.. MacBook Pros. Along w/LED backlighting to impress people.
    They’ll be released at WWDC or the end of Summer.

  2. Mark, 32gb is more than enough for everything I do on a laptop.

    Paul, wow that’s almost double what I paid for mine last month.

  3. Holy crap that’s expensive! Even for half the price listed there ($1000/2 so $500) is still damn expensive for a 32GB drive that doesn’t seem to have spectacular read/write speeds, although access times are amazing.

    Is it worth it? How much performance benefit is there actually over a 150GB Raptor?
