"We take stock of today's SSDs-what they have to offer, how they've progressed, and which should have dominion in your PC. At the end of our November 2008 solid-state-drive roundup, we concluded that those NAND-flash-based drives just weren't ready for prime time, thanks to astronomically high prices, small capacities, and flaky first-gen controllers."

Maximum PC did a round up test in November 2008 of Solid State drives and how they performed. Their conclusion at the end of it was that SSD's were just not quite ready yet. They have now revisted the SSD market and tested the drives again to see if they are now ready to become the main drives in our PC's. The conclusion is a definite yes. I find SSD's are still not at a price v capacity level that I am ready to pay for yet, but I can't deny the speed improvements they bring if you have the cash to buy one.
