It looks like this will be the year that SSD really comes into the mainstream. It’s been a long time coming. Transcend recently announced their SSD18M line of portable SSD drives. It’s enough to make your heart swoon.
Not only do these drives look good, they are reasonably priced too. Considering 128GB drives used to cost like $1000, this is a steal. The costs are $285, $169, and $99 for the 128GB, 64GB, and 32GB models respectively. The drives sport USB and eSata as well. Specs please:
