What is "affordable" though? Since prices have yet to be published, we can only speculate (and articles praising the unit so highly will almost assuredly raise the price). The Vertex 2 Pro should come in cheaper than Intel’s X25-E in a cost per GB sense The Intel X-25 M G2 is $299 for 80GB at newegg. Let's say that the OCZ is the same. For me and my work habits, that is more than affordable; it actually costs me money not to use it. If I compare this to my 10k RPM platter drives, boot up and wait times for me are 4 or 5 times longer than they are on an SSD. Paying "just" $299 to do things 4-5x faster will give me a great ROI even if I throw the thing away in three months and buy another.
