Electronista passes along a press release this morning from Sansung that a 256GB SSD is on the way this year. Of course, there’s no mention of price and most guesses are that it’s initially going to cost a pretty penny. Prices will hopefully drop fast after that.
This older chart from Engadget shows how in terms of cost per gigabyte, we probably won’t see prices near HDD costs until 2010. At the time of this blog post Samsung was estimating “at least a 3.x gap: $1.9/GB for SSDs vs $0.9/GB for HDDs.” Hmmm. At $1.9/GB for a 256GB drive, that would be $486.40. Not bad. Of course, this is unlikely–at least at first.
Gottabemobile also has the news.
