Man this thing is a monster, but I would not want to pay the price tag. I think that some of these prices could fall by almost in half in the new year.
The Collossus is quite impressive in specs. I especially like the "garbage collection" feature that continually optimizes it during periods of low activity... completely independant of the OS.

One thing about SSDs, when data is erased, it's gone forever. No trace is left behind like on a regular hard drive. I think that for this reason regular HDD's might be around as backup media for quite a while.
