Micron debuts SSD duo
America's last standing DRAM manufacturer, Micron Technology, has bulked out its solid-state drive range, with two large capacity models offering huge performance and power-management benefits. The 2.5in P200 drives range in capacity from 16GB to 128GB, use single-level cell NAND technology and are meant for servers. Micron …

Pricing
Micron = Crucial, right? Crucial are currently flogging 64GB SSDs (without much further detail) for [gulp] £648.59 including VAT. So......

Unless this thing is cheaper, I'd still rather just add another 80MB/sec Raptor to my array.
Mines the one with the dollah billz falling out of the pockets (not really).
