We believe the C300 will be very cost competitive. As a manufacturer, we’re careful about announcing pricing publicly, but as of release, we’ve said we’ll sell the C300 at $350 for the 128GB and $715 for the 256GB at quantities of 1,000. You’re probably interested in consumer pricing, though, which you can expect to see early next year when we announce our distribution partner. Stay tuned Thanks for the post.

The Intel 160GB SSD can be had for about USD500.00 . Will these new drives be much more expensive than that? ... ... will they be cheaper? :-} What sort of price premium are we looking at compared to current SSDs?

Loading times in particular. Most games nowadays use big compressed files to extract data from while loading. A test showing some game loading time comparisons would really interest me. Im still conflicted about spending the extra money on SSD but if it really is saving me a dozen seconds everytime a level or game, loads, those will add up quite fast and save me a lot of time, time on which i cant put a price untill now :D Great stuff, what about pc gaming performance.
