Samsung developing 64GB SDDs for some of Dell's mobile lines. Having a drive like this should cost about $1,000 more than the "generic" hard drive.

Assuming a reasonable 40% to 60% decline in prices a year on a per GB basis, we should start seeing these drives in the mainstream probably by Christmas 2009 or sometime in 2010.

Taiwan Semi has good things to say today. How much of the SOX rally would you attribute to this "new" market?

Which, interestingly, may be supplanted by Intel's "Phase Change Memory" by early next year.

128Gbs hard drives to be priced below $1,000 by the end of this year - and judging by the current rate of descent, most probably below $500 by the end of 2008:

http://www.texyt.com/128GB+ssd+flash+hard+disk+drive+price+00101

For business users, a 128Gb SSD will be ample enough. I've hard a 60Gb hard drive for the last couple of years and that has served me well. My new laptop just shipped (from Dell) and this is one is going to have a 100Gb 7200 RPM hard drive. By the time I upgrade again (probably in early 2009), I am guessing that I will go for the 128Gb SSD hard drive.

I wonder how much such a "solution" will cost:

Upwards of $30k perhaps?
