Great News! I can finally get a 128MB SSD for my netbook without the pangs of buyer's remorse.

Yep, nice to see SSD prices continuing to fall, good for everyone.

With that size you can probably get it for free already :dave:

The OCZ Vertex 120Gb (Indilinx Barefoot) i still own cost me 360 Euros back in 2009.

Since 2011 Corsair GT 180 GB still doing a good job , though I want 2 TB games and systems

SATA SSDs will drop in price. NVMe will replace the SATA drive's current price-point.

With price normally decrease performance and general quality of the product.
Also decrease avalaibility of the performance model because shops tend to stock the cheap one.
SSD now are al aligned in performance, when prices will fall down prepare for unknow revision, changes in controller without notice.
If you get a 256SSD in a single chip memory do not expect fast performance 🙂

Could be a good time to make the move, been stuck on mechanical far too long

Same here. Didnt want jump on a 128gb being far to low. Gonna get 256 or more next month...

I got a crucial m550 256GB for 76euro( 87 delivered ) a few weeks ago, they had a half price sale, sold out in an hour.

Same here I might make the plunge if they do drop to that pricing.

My 840 EVO was the best thing I ever purchased, and I paid 180€.
It really makes any PC feel like new!

Interesting.... for prices like this, it now doesn't feel so wasteful installing games to SSDs. I might considering doing a RAID setup with SSDs for prices like these. I have more SATA ports than I know what to do with.

Would love a cheap 40 bucks 500mb/s SSD. But I really doubt they'll hit 40 bucks.

My first SSD was a 80GB Kingston, somwhere arround 2009. It as for OS only but damn it made huuuge difference, but at a hefty cost. Then in 2013 I bought a replacement Corsair Force Series GT 120GB, it's not only a bit faster but I actually manage to squeeze 2-3 games in it as well. I would LOVE to have all my games on SSDs but my Steam/Origin/Uplay libraries are just under 1.5TB... so yeah, looking forward to cheaper SSDs and the days when I can afford to have all my games on them. 🙂

no matter how the prices drop
if u concern about ur data / downtime, just stick with proved brand (intel/samsung/crucial/plextor) and u will be happy
i personally always have my faith to intel ssd

Luv me 840 and 850 (use em as OS drives on both my systems)
IF this happens I'm probably gonna grab a couple 850s for gaming, it's tiresome having only 2-3 games installed at any given time due to lack of space. HDDs I only use for storage these days. Video recording SSDs still a few years away for me, I don't see 1TB SSDs getting reasonable pricing any time soon
