Hence the generation after next, in ~8 years time that will have fallen a lot. This gives an idea of the prices. http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=636&Category=15&name=Solid-State-Disks |
Solid state drives are expensive, but in 3 to 4 years a 32GB flash card will cost less than $10 at retail.
