Im wondering when this will happen mainly because of the performance difference between the standard HDDs and SSDs. :P

They are going down steadily, near $0.50 a GB, My first 120gb ssd cost me $240ish, pretty soon they will be as cheap as HDD's and they will be the standard

They are already steadily going down. My 128gb vertex 3 cost me like $230 a couple years ago.

Well, if everyone would stop buying them for only 1 month they would become dirt cheap, but that's not how the world works, and the prices are dropping, slowly but they are. I think I saw a Seagate 250Gig SSD for 129 CAD on ncix. That's a really good deal for an SSD.

I dont think that stoppig buying them for a month or so would drop price much, amd if it did it would be for an extremely short time.

Really theres not going to be that sweet spot of "SSD's are holding steady at a really low price." Until another more reliable or faster solution becomes commercially available. There's going to be a steady decrease in price as time go on for auite a while. Might as well buy it now and enjoy it instead of trying to save that extra .05 cents per dollar.

If you mean when they're the same price as HDDs, that will be a couple years or maybe longer.

Prices drop everytime a new process node comes out that can make ever smaller transistors for use in flash memory. Right now the current process has stabilised in good volumes so things are nice and cheap and available and the next big jump will be with the next doubling of density.

They go down all the time, its a great time to buy an SSD, current gen has some great speeds and have been around for long enough now you can find out which brands are reliable.
