SSDs cost half of what they did in 2011

As someone who bit the bullet and bought at 256g SSD in January, yes, I've noticed this rather dramatic drop recently. I paid about $420, and could get a 512 gig for $399, IIRC, going by last week's pricing. Ugh.

I wished I'd waited a bit, as switching again to a 512 would be... I dunno - not sure if it would be worth it again, but I am running out of room a lot on a 256.

Where did you find a 512 for $399? I haven't seen anything near that

Yes, as the other poster said, it's crucial:

But others manufacturers sub 500g are coming down: http://www.compusa.com/applications/Category/guidedSearch.as...
