Nothing but good news. HDD are outdated. It's time to move forward.

I agree. GTAV is literally unplayable on my HDD, I crash into invisible buildings when flying choppers(because they havent popped in yet), Whole areas just pop in, but on my SSD runs smooth as butter, cant see 1 pop in besides a ped/vehichle here and there.

Surprised it has taken this long frankly.

I believe the smartphone industry is responsible for it.

Yup, Im more surprised that BluRay isnt the standard on PC... I still buy a physical copy here and there and would prefer not having 7 discs of GTAV when you could do it with like 1 on BluRay.

I'll probably wait for a some sort of BF deal- its not that far off...

I have been waiting for the prices to fall, I need a long term reliable HDD to store movies.

I just brought a 250gb drive for 150 AUD the other day. Oh well, it really should have been alot cheaper since SSD technology have pretty much entered maturity by this point. That and SSD are starting to use PCIe for more speed.
