When they are under $100 for a 150-and up gig hard drive I will consider it. Or when my good ol' 200GB maxtor fails.

I remember waiting in line for the stupid thing a few years back, I paid $39 after rebates and I was giddy as a school girl and now it's shooting me in the foot

When I can get one thats greater than 250GB for around 125 I'll take it. I want to copy my whole hard drive over and save the trouble of reinstalling Vista 64 Educators edition...

When you can get 2 64GB SSD's for a RAID0 for 300$ or less. Or a 160-200GB for 300$ or less.
I'm set on HDD"s for a while and my 150GB raptor for my OS is plenty fast. Possibly in my next build.

When 64gb SSDs are at the $240 price point which is why I bought the OCZ V1 Core. Regretting it now as the performance just isn't worth it, the professional reviews that came out when the drives launched really had 0 warning about the stuttering issue. My newest mark is when Intel's 80gb MLC SSD is at the $240-$260 range.
I was going to take the plunge and buy an OCZ Core V2 80GB. Price, size and performance was right for me. Then I read the Anandtech review. 
So when a drives that actually works becomes affordable (pricing similar to OCZ Core ssds) I'm getting one.

Not for me
. Aren't they cheeper to make? I'm just guessing because it's all electronic so it's cheaper to manufacture???I'll say 320GB for $50.

I'll get a SSD when the storage to price ratio is more reasonable.

The absolute most I'll be willing to pay is $1 per GB, and only if:
I can pay $0.20 per GB and get STR of nearly 70MB/s from standard drives with huge storage capacities.
If I'm going to pay 5 times as much for the drive, I want a significant increase in reliability and transfer rates, not just access times.
- lifetime ("erase cycles") is equal to or greater than regular hard drives
- a single drive has >200MB/s STR

When the 16/32gb high speed ones hit below $100. I figure I'll just end up getting one and using it as a boot drive and use HDDs for storage till SSDs move closer to HDD prices.

I may give higher consideration to one if I ever choose to invest in a nice laptop. The performance increase you get in a laptop with an SSD is just awesome.
