If you thought solid-state drive upgrades are way too expensive, check again - SSD hard drive prices have come down significantly while performance has increased dramatically. As of late, the cost of SSD flash drive technology has become more affordable than you might think, with some peak performing drives now well below $2 per Gigabyte.
A lot has changed in the PC and Apple compatible SSD market place over the last year. Lower flash memory component costs, vastly improved next generation SSD controller chips, higher clock speeds, and increased data channels have allowed SSD drives to deliver significant speed gains in Read/Write data rates at ever lower price points.
Whether you're wanting to replace a slow and dying hard drive in a desktop Windows PC, or perhaps pondering an upgrade for an older Apple MacBook SSD - your best investment for the long term is an SSD based on the latest SandForce controller chipset. With both reads and writes around 500Mbps, these modern SSD's make the most of the bandwidth of the SATA III interface used in newer computers over the the past several years.
If huge storage capacity is critical for you; explore the latest Hybrid SSD drives from Seagate which blend both SSD flash chips with 500GB to 750GB conventional spinning platters to give your computer the best of both technologies.
