Samsung yesterday announcedthat they have developed a 64GB solid state drive (SSD) for use in laptops or any other portable electronics that could use a 2.5-inch drive. There was no mention of price, but with Apple and other notebook manufacturers reportedly set to announce SSD based laptops later in the year, I expect the price to be around $300 to start. Things are really starting to get interesting. Hard drive manufacturers like Western Digital and Seagate better start getting competitive or they might be extinct from the consumer market in the near-future.
