Corsair introduces 90GB SSDs priced at $159 and $199

I've been running a Corsair F120GB SSD for a year now. Performance is absolutely amazing. I used to have Raptors, they are not comparable. I've had no problems with the drive and am now saving up for a 240 GB SATA3 drive.

Actually it should also come down to whether you need to run your disk in desktop mode or in laptop mode. In a laptop a SSD has even more compelling reason for existence IE no moving parts and lower power draw.
I haven't jumped on the SSD bandwagon yet but am contemplating either a 60gb ssd or an i3 rig . ATM the I3 rig is winning the hearts & minds battle.
As I would also need to get W7 to get trim and best use of an SSD.
90gb does seem like a nice stop between 60 ^120 .. 60 too small for OS and APPS but 120 too expensive for any but Saudi's and Oil Barons.
My gripe is that SSD people have been concentrating on extra speed, when they are already fast enough, instead of extra cheapness, which will really bring in the business.
£1 per GigaByte, not a penny more!

i have a corsair 300 ssd 64gb, 30 sec shutdown and restart, and would be faster if i turned off steam, but hey i spend a lot of time on there. It has behaved flawlessly
