I don't want to pirate any moves. I have just out grown the capacity of DVD's as a storage medium. I don't think SSD offer a solution for me. A single layer DVD is all I need for today and then a dual (50Gb). In maybe 2 years the pioneer 16 layer will be on the market (400GB) I just photographed a wedding and I have of 10 Gb. of files that I must Archive before I do any “Photoshop Magic”

Try a hundredth. Considering a 4GB flash drive costs roughly $22 (newegg.com), which works out to $5.50/GB or $0.687 for 125 MB. This is closer to "a hundredth" (or $0.80 per 125 MB) than "a tenth" or $8 per 125 MB :-) Quote: “I have a 125 MB flash drive that I paid $80 for a few years ago, it would probably be fair to say that it is worth a tenth of that now…”

When has rental ever had an impact on movie sales? What will hit Blu Ray is us being able to BUY real HD quality movies, download them at a reasonable speed, and keep/share/transport them like we do with disks. Sounds like just the job for those SSD disks, and by the time there's a service willing to offer all that they should be affordable enough. “With Blu-Ray, its sales and overall deep adoption is being threatened by online services offering streaming content rental”.

Good advice about waiting for SSD drives. With Blu-Ray, its sales and overall deep adoption is being threatened by online services offering streaming content rental. I wonder if we could see a similar threat for SSD by online storage services? Nice writeup. Good advice about waiting for SSD drives.
