Knowing how cheap USB flash drives are now, would you buy an SSD knowing it will decrease in price by more than 300%?

Haha funny funny, do you have any idea why flash drives are cheap? It has nothing to do with how much storage it has. It has everything to do with the quality of the parts used in the usb flash drives. You honestly think they are using 50 cent memory controllers for SSD's?

And if someone doesn't want a SSD, they are better off not spending any extra money. Lucid's Hydra isn't out so you lose a lot from installing a second GPU (and I am not even sure Hydra will be all its cracked up to be), you cannot really install a second CPU (unless you have a server mobo, but then you most likely won't be asking for advice either), you don't need more than 4 or 6gb of ram (depending if your mobo is triple channel or double).

I mean unless you want to spend 100% of the price for a new GPU for only 5-20% performance boosts, then go ahead. But I do agree, SSD's at the moment are only for enthusiasts or low capacity ones for laptops.
