SSDs have dropped precipitously from about $2 a GB wholesale to about $0.78 or less a GB wholesale.

Has this happened recently? I know retail != wholesale, but I haven't seen SSD prices drop at NewEgg for some time.

Look at the prices for a given manufacturer over time. These 3 links show 2008, 2010, 2011, and 2012

Thanks for the tip--I held off on an Intel 160GB for $250 back in January, and now the same price gets me a 256GB!
