also @ TechSpot: Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Review
Intel is working on SSDs based on more efficient 25nm MLC NAND flash memory, including 160GB, 300GB, and 600GB models which will supplant the company's existing 34nm second-generation X25-M range. Shortly thereafter, the company will launch a high-capacity 1.8-inch iteration, which will supposedly reach at least 300GB.
Although Intel will presumably sell both models to the general public, Fudzilla says the 1.8-inch variant may also be destined for home entertainment electronics, such as camcorders, as mobile computer manufacturers still tend to rely on the 2.5-inch form factor.

Realistically speaking, at least for the next few years, a 100 - 200 GB SSD should be sufficient. If you keep all documents, downloads, etc on a regular hard drive, and only load the OS and programs, you really don't need a 600GB SSD. I'm sure its cool, but we're probably talking a few thousand.

This is great news.
it will bring down the pricse of the Gen2 drives and i can pick up another 160GB and go Raid 0 =)
Hopefully intel will have Trim compatible Raid drives out by then.
Then again if the refresh drives offer a much larger performance gap it might be easier to just sell my current hmm....

The good news is every week some manufacturer releases information about a new SSD (larger, faster, smaller form factor, etc). This means a lot of energy is being put around these which will lower prices and improve specs, so that we may all use this technology sooner.
