Another Day With My PC

Samsung is done drive testing its newly made 256GB SSD. The company announced earlier that they will be mass producing the hard drive, therefore stirring excitement among tech enthusiasts.

Earlier, the announcement of 256 SSD raised speculations about its supposed price once it hits mainstream market. Experts are worried that 256 GB SSD might not simply be affordable, considering that current 128GB SSD is already tagged at $400.

This won’t really be the case as a few tech blogger noted that mass production of the hyped SSD will “bring the price down dramatically.”

Cnet predicts that the new SSD drive will be tagged at between $1,000 and $1,400, a price that many should find “affordable.”

The improvement of SSDs is a big step as it is the same hard ware that is currently being used by popular netbooks. An increase in SSD capacity equates to a future increase in the most celebrated mobile computer’s capcity as well.
