There isn't enough manufacturing capacity to supply the whole world with SSD's. They will remain expensive for some time to come. I am guessing it will take another 2 process shrinks before they even start to become commonplace. SSD drives are expensive because Intel is not capable of making it mainstream.

They costed a lot at first ad where nowhere near today's panels, then they gradually got better and cheaper. Also, 80GB may not be enough for you or everybody, but 90% of people I know don't even use 40, maybe 60/70 tops if they have Vista. Also 4xHD in RAID will not be faster in everyday tasks, especially if you connect them to the onboard controller or to a non hardware accelerated one, remember it's much more about the access time and not about sheer transfer speed for most. So your Seagate drives are not noisy, or hot or slow, but they are slower and hotter and noisier than any SSD out there. Since you are happy about their performance you can wait out till SSD prices drop. In conclusion Intel wants the prices to drop and will drop them as soon as their production costs will, so they will increase their profit by selling loads more SSDs at a reduced price.

Some 80GB SSD is not enough, you are going to need HDD anyway. And 4xHDD is faster, cheaper, more space. 256GB SSD for $999, no thanks. I own seagate 500GB 7200.12 single platter HDD, it is not noisy, hot or anything. My programs and files are on separate disks, I can run virus scan so that it doesn't affect my performance in games or anywhere else. You're probably some wannabe guy who can't afford even some cheaper SSD. I have nothing against SSDs, but those prices need to drop, alot. some brainwashed Intel zombies, since when is Intel the one who wants to bring prices down?

Take your old, unreliable, noisy, slow, crash-prone hard disk and I'll take my new, reliable, silent, fast, crash-free SSD, thanks.

It seems more reasonable to get some single platter 500GB HDDs, raid em or divide programs and stuff between em. I can't find any good reviews that would show which is better bang for buck. In those reviews I found, either the SSD solution costs 4 times more or has 1/4 of the space. I want to see 4x500GB F3 HDDs vs single SSD for the same money. whats so awesome, price?

I have two of the X25-M G2 drives, they are well worth the money! The G1 drives were $595 each and I agree that was way too much! $244 is not that expensive for the 80Gb just shop around for the best price.
