I've been prematurely predicting the takeover of solid state memory from spinning disc hard drives for a couple of years, and even though the technology has made some inroads, it still hasn't come to pass. 2013 just might be the year, starting with the new USB 3 flash drives from Kingston that are now available up to a terabytes.Although the terabyte version is not shipping yet, the 512GB model, known as the HyperX Predator, is readily available. It's not cheap however, with a price of $860 online.
Solid state computer drives prices have come down in the last year, but not as much as was probably expected. A 256GB drive is still around $200, although 64GB drives can be had for under $60 if you look around.
Still, if you need a major amount of storage at your fingertips, it really is now at your fingertips. If you have the cash, that is.
