And finally -- the price isn't even that good! Why pay $140 for an unproven Kogan drive, when you can get a *proven* decent drive like the Crucial MX100 256GB for $110? http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-MX100-adapter-Internal-CT256MX100SSD1/dp/B00KF...
That's an excellent price for a 256GB SSD. We can expect prices and capacity to improve further in coming years. Does Linux still require edits to /etc/fstab to support Trim and other SSD optimizations, or is it all done by default now? A further development of note is the move to SSDs attached directly to the PCI-Express bus, with no drive controller required. Example: http://www.ramcity.com.au/blog/all-about-pcie-ssds-part-1-windows-linux/1313... (still expensive, but this should change.)
