Adoption rates will also climb as more system builders include flash storage in pre-built machines, such as Apple's MacBook Air. Based on iSuppli's figures, SSD penetration will triple this year for both desktop and enterprise server segments, increasing to 1.2% and 1.7%. That rate is an even higher 2.3% among notebooks, which benefit greatly from the lighter, cooler design.
The firm estimates that SSD sales will total some 7.2 million units by the end of 2010, and while that's an increase from 2009, it's still far behind conventional hard drives, which should reach some 662 million shipments. Earlier this year, we asked how many of you had already purchased an SSD, and plenty of you (justly) complained about prices still being too high. With holiday sales looming, are you ready to take the plunge or are you prepared to wait out the cost premium?

DKRON, there are two ways to post in these comment threads. Keep in mind that when guests and others post from the Homepage, they can't see your System specs as they can if they post from the forums, but then guests can't post from the regular forums until they register.

Does no1 read my system specs, i don't have xp or an atom pc
Personally, I don't read them because I think you're making them up. Furthermore, I am abundantly disinterested in them, even if you're not.

In addition to mail and CC's comments, what difference does it make to know your system specs? Anyone's comments are valued on the basis of substance they may have, which unfortunately doesn't happen consistently.

You will NOT see a major price drop on SSD for a while due to the cost/production and manufacturing process of the flash RAM chips. Also, regular hard drive prices are expected to rise by next year.

lmao I cant say he's lieing. I do know there are some motherboards that have this "quick boot" feature. Mine does not that this. I wait a seperate 30 seconds for my raid controller to do its thing. Then its another 12-14 seconds to windows desktop with everything loaded and i have 1600mb of read.
Back on topic. Decreasing capacities really? I have 4 tb's of space between my pc and our htpc that also serves as a home server for 5 notebooks and 4 desktops. I better grab more replacement drives quick I suppose.
