Still a niche market. People will pay a premium price for a 10000RPM VelociRaptor or a fast SSD because they want the speed, and perhaps status, but I think it's going to be a while before we see SSD displace a mechanical HD as a standard (like EVERY new comp has them) drive.

I would love to eat my words though, I'd be elated if someone came out with a 1TB SSD for $100 this year
