How much will these puppies cost?
$237.
That's my guess before even looking at your link....
eta: My guess was close - it's $299.
The price should come down lots, me thinks. Somewhere I read today of a 256GB solid state drive for $500-ish....
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Here it is: SanDisk's affordable 240GB SSD: 7x faster than a hard disk
OK, I was off a bit on capacity....
Available this summer for around $500, this 2.5-inch SATA drive is as fast as it is affordable. Using a marketing term SanDisk invented, the drive is rated at 40,000 VRPM, or Virtual Revolutions Per Minute. What that means to the rest of us is that the drive should perform about 7 times faster than a typical hard drive, giving us faster boot times and more responsive programs. We'll be saving up.
eta: This is normal desktop drive sized (physical), not laptop sized like Gud's link.
eta²: I think. Hard to tell. It looks smaller than a desktop drive but bigger than a laptop drive?

Um, I've got 2 TB in this room, another 1 TB on the computer in the next room, and another 1 TB in the back room connected to my router.
