Just read a review http://www.guru3d.com/article/gskill-ssd-solid-state-disk-64-gb-review/ on one today and I'd be very interested in picking one up. The price is spectacular compared to all the other offerings.

What kinda price Canadian are these going to be roughly? I'd think about getting a couple for sure if there are going to be reasonable.

add roughly 20 cents to the dollar

I see them online in Canada for $190.00 and bet Rob can beat that price.

I think the price is ok with all things be considered.

After I pick up my ram I think these are next on the list.

When you can get a 1.5TB SATA2 magnetic drive for about the same, it's too much.

Yes maybe so but it's not anywhere near as cool as an SSD dude lol.

Yeah it's all about the cool factor.

For some it is yup. Were not all complete nerds dude. Just partly. SSDs would be sweet in my rig & it'd catch more eyes as well.

Literally they don't give off much heat so it's the "cool" factor.
