also @ TechSpot: Intel says Haswell will improve battery life by 50 percent
OCZ calls this bootable drive "affordable", though it stops short of revealing the actual price tag (or an expected release date, for that matter). It should be available in capacities ranging from 120 to 480GB using the less expensive NAND flash memory when it finally launches. The company also showed off new 1.8-inch Vertex 2 and Onyx II SSDs aimed at ultrathin notebooks, netbooks, nettops, and tablets. These drives will be available "in a range of capacities" featuring a SATA 3Gb/s interface and Windows 7's TRIM feature. Unfortunately, again, OCZ gave no pricing or release details.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
if 120gb goes for less than 400 i'll get one may consider less than 500.. but not more than that

We'll have to see what OCZ considers to be 'affordable'. What the SSD market needs to realise is, they're still, and will be for years to come, in heavy competition with mechanical hard drives. If Techspot are interested, I'd like to see how well SSDs fare against a pair of 600GB Velociraptors on RAID. In terms of pricing, capacity, reliability and performance, I can see a vast majority of SSDs sitting in the corner, crying themselves to sleep in shame.

Even though these items are quite expensive at the moment, they give me hope that soon, 1-3 years, these will be mainstream pushing old disc drives the way of crt monitors, and increasing overall computer performance.

There is a dealer in Switzerland that has put a preliminary CHF614 and CHF1077 price on the Revodrive (drive not available yet): http://www.toppreise.ch/index.php?search=revodrive
