All users will agree that SSD brings performance level to a next level. If they do not offer the highest speed for random writing, they excel in reading and writing speed (MB/s) thanks to top-notch controller able to manage such flow of data.
The main problem today is the remaining high price of such units. Intel is aware of this fact and expects to offer a solution with its X25-V series. Such SSDs should be cheaper than the excellent X25-M despite using the same memory chips. The storage capacity will of course be lower (most probably around 40 GB), and today it is unclear what would be the performance of the controller.
This might also be considered as the first sign of a price war on SSD that could make entry level product/low storage capacity product affordable for most users.
